A parcel delivery service will deliver a package only if the length plus the girth (distance around, i.e., perimeter, taken perp

endicular to the length) does not exceed 120 inches. Find the maximum volume of a rectangular box with square ends that satisfies the delivery company's requirements.

Answer:

16,000 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x, y, z  be the length, width and height of the parcel.  

Since the parcel is a rectangular box with square ends,

y = z and the girth is 4y.

The volume is

V=xy^2

The maximum volume must occur when the length plus the girth equals 120 inches, that is

x + 4y = 120

We want then to find the maximum of the volume.

As

x = 120 - 4y

we have

V=(120-4y)y^2=120y^2-4y^3

Let us find the critical points of V

\displaystyle\frac{\text{d}V}{\text{d}y}=240y-12y^2\\\\\displaystyle\frac{\text{d}V}{\text{d}y}=0\Rightarrow 240y=12y^2

We can assume y>0, otherwise there is no parcel.

Dividing both sides by y:

240=12y\Rightarrow y=\displaystyle\frac{240}{12}=20

Since

\displaystyle\frac{\text{d}^2V}{\text{d}y^2}=240-24y\Rightarrow \displaystyle\frac{\text{d}^2V}{\text{d}y^2}(20)=240-480

and

y=20

is a maximum. For this value of y:

x = 120 - 4(20) = 40

We conclude that the rectangular box with maximum volume that satisfies the delivery company's requirements has the following measures:

Length = 40

Width = height = 20 inches

Volume = 40*20*20 = 16,000 cubic inches.

May runs around a 4 m track at a consistent speed of 250 m/min. how many minutes does it take me to complete for lapse of the tr
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

<u>It takes May 6 minutes and 24 seconds to run 4 laps and 1 minute and 36 seconds per lap</u>

Statement and question:

May runs around a 400-meter track at a constant speed of 250 meters per minute. How many minutes does it take May to complete 4 laps of the track?

Source:

Previous question that can be found at brainly

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Speed of May = 250 meters per minute

Length of the track = 400 meters

2. How many minutes does it take May to complete 4 laps of the track?

Let's answer the question calculating the total distance and the time it took Mary to run around the track, this way:

Total distance = 4 * 400 = 1,600 meters

Time it takes May to run 1,600 meters = 1,600/250

Time it takes May to run 1,600 meters = 6.4 minutes

<u>6.4 minutes = 6 minutes + 0.4 * 60 seconds = 6 minutes and 24 seconds</u>

<u>Time it takes May to run one lap = 6.4/4 = 1.6</u>

<u>1.6 minutes = 1 minute + 0.6 * 60 seconds = 1 minute and 36 seconds</u>
