A man drove 16 mi directly east from his home, made a left turn at an intersection, and then traveled 2 mi north to his place of

work. If a road was made directly from his home to his place of work, what would its distance be to the nearest tenth of a mile?

Answer:

16. 1 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagorean Theorem,

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Since the road that goes from his home to work directly is c^2...

Plug in the rest of the numbers

16^2 + 2^2 = c^2

256 + 4 = c^2

260 = c^2

The reverse square of 260 is

16. 1 miles

A box with a rectangular base and open top must have a volume of 128 f t 3 . The length of the base is twice the width of base.

noname [10]

Answer:

$Width = 4ft$

$Height = 4ft$

$Length = 8ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Volume = 128ft^3$

$L = 2W$

$Base\ Cost = \$9/ft^2$

$Sides\ Cost = \$6/ft^2$

Required

The dimension that minimizes the cost

The volume is:

$Volume = LWH$

This gives:

$128 = LWH$

Substitute $L = 2W$

$128 = 2W * WH$

$128 = 2W^2H$

Make H the subject

$H = \frac{128}{2W^2}$

$H = \frac{64}{W^2}$

The surface area is:

Area = Area of Bottom + Area of Sides

So, we have:

$A = LW + 2(WH + LH)$

The cost is:

$Cost = 9 * LW + 6 * 2(WH + LH)$

$Cost = 9 * LW + 12(WH + LH)$

$Cost = 9 * LW + 12H(W + L)$

Substitute: $H = \frac{64}{W^2}$ and $L = 2W$

$Cost =9*2W*W + 12 * \frac{64}{W^2}(W + 2W)$

$Cost =18W^2 + \frac{768}{W^2}*3W$

$Cost =18W^2 + \frac{2304}{W}$

To minimize the cost, we differentiate

$C' =2*18W + -1 * 2304W^{-2}$

Then set to 0

$2*18W + -1 * 2304W^{-2} =0$

$36W - 2304W^{-2} =0$

Rewrite as:

$36W = 2304W^{-2}$

Divide both sides by W

$36 = 2304W^{-3}$

Rewrite as:

$36 = \frac{2304}{W^3}$

Solve for $W^3$

$W^3 = \frac{2304}{36}$

$W^3 = 64$

Take cube roots

$W = 4$

Recall that:

$L = 2W$

$L = 2 * 4$

$L = 8$

$H = \frac{64}{W^2}$

$H = \frac{64}{4^2}$

$H = \frac{64}{16}$

$H = 4$

Hence, the dimension that minimizes the cost is:

$Width = 4ft$

$Height = 4ft$

$Length = 8ft$
