Let h = height of the box,
x = side length of the base.

Volume of the box is  V=x^{2} h = 115. 
So h = \frac{115}{ x^{2} }

Surface area of a box is S = 2(Width • Length + Length • Height + Height • Width).
So surface area of the box is
S = 2( x^{2}  + hx + hx)  \\ = 2 x^{2}  + 4hx  \\  = 2 x^{2}  + 4( \frac{115}{ x^{2} } )x
= 2 x^{2} + \frac{460}{x}
The surface are is supposed to be the minimum. So we'll need to find the first derivative of the surface area function and set it to zero.

S' = 4x- \frac{460}{ x^{2} }  = 0
4x = \frac{460}{ x^{2} }  \\  4x^{3} = 460  \\ x^{3} = 115  \\ x =  \sqrt[3]{115} = 4.86
Then h=  \frac{115}{4.86^{2}} = 4.87
So the box is 4.86 in. wide and 4.87 in. high.

<span>length = 6.13 Width = 6.13 Height = 3.06 Let's use the variable L to represent the length of a bottom edge of the box. With that, the height of the box will be 115 / w^2. Since the box is open, the box will have a bottom, and 4 sides. No top. So the expression for the surface area of the box will be w^2 + 4w(115/w^2) = w^2 + 460/w Since we're looking for a local minimum, that will be at a point where the first derivative of the function is 0. So the first derivative is: 2w - 460/w^2 = 2w^3/w^2 - 460/w^2 = (2w^3 - 460)/w^2 = 2(w^3 - 230)/w^2 The above derivative has a real zero at the cube root of 230 which is approximately 6.126926 So the length of the sides of the box are 6.13 inches and the height of the box is 115/(6.13^2) = 3.06 inches.</span>

A basketball player makes 75% of her free throws. If she made 84 free throws this season, how many has she attempted?
myrzilka [38]
If you would like to know how many free throws did a basketball player attempted, you can calculate this using the following steps:

75% of x is 84
75% * x = 84
75/100 * x = 84
x = 84 * 100 / 75
x = 112 free throws

The correct result would be 1<span>12 free throws.</span>

Steffie makes a scale drawing for a crate with the demensions 15 inches long by 12 inches wide. Her scale factor is 1:3. Brian m
rodikova [14]

Answer:

Dimensions → (5 inches × 4 inches)

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale factor used for the drawing by Steffie = \frac{1}{3}

Since, scale factor = \frac{\text{Dimension of the drawing}}{\text{Actual dimension}}

For Steffie,

Actual length of the crate = \frac{\text{Dimension of the drawing}}{\text{Scale factor}}

                                           = \frac{15}{\frac{1}{3}}

                                           = 45 inches

Actual width of the crate = \frac{12}{\frac{1}{3} }

                                         = 36 inches

Since Brian used the scale factor = \frac{1}{9}

Length of the drawing = Actual length × Scale factor

                                     = 45 × \frac{1}{9}

                                    = 5 inches

Width of the drawing = Actual width × Scale factor

                                   = 36 × \frac{1}{9}

                                   = 4 inches

Therefore, dimensions of the drawing made by Brian are (5 inches × 4 inches)
