Answer:

Let the width of the base be x and the height of the box be y. The base is a square so its area is x2. Then the volume of the box is "base area times height", so the volume is V=x2y=40ft3.

The area of the base is x2, so the cost of the base is 0.31x2.

The area of each side is xy, so the cost of each side is 0.05xy, so the cost of all four sides is 4×0.05xy=0.2xy.

The area of the top is x2, so the cost of the top is 0.19x2.

So the total cost is C=0.31x2+0.19x2+0.2xy=0.5x2+0.2xy.

Since x2y=40, we have y=40/x2, so C=0.5x2+0.2x×40x2=0.5x2+8x. This we can optimise using derivatives.

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the ratio of the volume of Cylinder A to the volume of Cylinder B?
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

The ratio of volume of Cylinder A to the volume of Cylinder B is 18:25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimension of cylinder A,

Radius is 3 units and height is 4 units.

Dimension of cylinder B,

Radius is 5 units and height is 2 units.                          

The volume of a cylinder is given by :

V=\pi r^2 h

For cylinder A to B,

\dfrac{V_A}{V_B}=(\dfrac{r_A}{r_B})^2\times \dfrac{h_A}{h_B}\\\\\dfrac{V_A}{V_B}=(\dfrac{3}{5})^2\times \dfrac{4}{2}\\\\\dfrac{V_A}{V_B}= \dfrac{18}{25}

So, the ratio of volume of Cylinder A to the volume of Cylinder B is 18:25.

1.Each method works differently the angles inside them is what matters.

2. <span> Manipulating algebra tiles can help people solve linear equations

3.</span><span>Distribute each term of the first polynomial to every term of the second polynomial. Remember that when you multiply two terms together you must multiply the coefficient (numbers) and add the exponents. But with Integers you multiply two integers with different signs

4.So you know how </span>
A monomial is a number, a variable or a product of a number and a variable.


<span>multiply each term in one polynomial by each term in the other <span>polynomial
