Answer:

The dimension of the box is l×w×h =  (2.274 × 2.274 × 1.934) ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

Let a be the cost of the box

Let b  be one side of the square base ;    &

h to be the height  of the box

We know that the volume of the box = 10 cubic feet

Then;

a²h = 10

h = 10/a²

The base = (0.65)a²

The top = (0.2)a²

The side = (0.2) a × 25/a²

= 5/a

For the four sides of the box now ;

= (0.2) 4a × 25/a²

= 0.8  × 25/a

= 20 /a

The total cost of the box is:

b = 0.65a² + 0.2a² + 20 /a

b = 0.85 a² + 20 /a

Taking differential of b with respect to a ;we have:

db/da = 1.7a - 1/a²(20) = 0

1.7 a³ - 20 = 0

1.7 a³  = 20

a³ = 20/1.7

a³ = 11.77

a = \sqrt[3]{11.77}

a = 2.274 ft

Thus; the cost for the base of the box = (0.65)a²

the cost for the base of the box =(0.65) × ( 2.274)²

the cost for the base of the box = 3.362

The top of the box = (0.2)a²

The top of the box = (0.2)× ( 2.274)²

The top of the box = 1.034

The four sides of the box = 20 /a

The four sides of the box = 20/2.274

The four sides of the box = 8.795

the total cost = b = 0.85 a² + 20 /a

the total cost = 0.85 (2.274)² + 20 /2.274

the total cost = 4.395 + 8.795

the total cost = 13.19

Recall that:

the volume of the box = 10 cubic feet

Then;

a²h = 10

h = 10/a²

h = 10/ 2.274²

h  1.934

The dimension of the box is l×w×h =  (2.274 × 2.274 × 1.934) ft³

The answer is D because 

60 times 5=300

20 times 8=160

25 times 9=225

33 times 10=330

Then add all of them and it gives you $1,015

Find the equation of a line that passes through points (1,8) and (4,4).​
daser333 [38]

Step-by-step explanation: Using the equation, y = mx + b, the slope-intercept form, plug in the values you have and solve for b. (m is the slope.) You have y = -8 and x = 4 and m = 1/2.

Use the guess and check method to solve for the equation : 4(x+2)+2=14 please help need answer
TiliK225 [7]

4(x+2)+2=14

4x+8+2=14

4x+10=14

Subtract 10 from both sides

4x=4

Divide by 4 on both sides

x=1

HOW DO I SOLVE THIS PLEASE HELP
malfutka [58]

Answer:

  x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you want to find the value of x.

Know (or prove) that in this geometry, all of the right triangles are similar. That means the ratios of corresponding sides are proportional.

  short side / hypotenuse = 9/x = x/25

  x^2 = (9)(25) . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 25x ("cross multiply")

  x = √((9)(25)) = (3)(5) . . . take the square root

  x = 15
