A box is contructed out of two different types of metal. the metal for the top and bottom, which are both square, costs $5 per s

quare foot and the metal for the sides costs $4 per square foot. find the dimensions that minimize cost if the box has a volume of 15 cubic feet.

Total cost, C = 8x^2 + 12xz 
volume, V = (x^2)*z = 10 
C = 8x^2 + 12x*10/x^2 
= 8x^2 + 120/x 
dC/dx = 16x - 120/x^2 = 0 
16x = 120/x^2 
x^3 = 120/16
 x = 1.957 ft

d^2C/dx^2 = 16 +240/x^3 = +ve for x = 1.957 
so, C is minimum when
x = 1.957 ft z = 2.61 ft

Length of the base x is 1.957 ft and height of side z is 2.61 ft

Peter Schmidt ordered sandwiches and salads for a luncheon meeting. The sandwiches cost three times as much as a salads. The tot
evablogger [386]

EXPLANATION

Let's see the facts:

$Sandwiches= 3*$Salads

Bill = $24.92

We can represent this in an equation:

Total Bill = Sandwiches + Salads

Let's call to Sandwiches "x" to Salads "y" and to Bill "B"

Then, the equation will be:

B = x+y = (3*y) + y

Applying distributive property:

24.92 = 3y + y

Adding similar terms:

24.92 = 4y

Dividing both sides by 4:

6.23 = y

Switching:

y=6.23

As we know, y variable represent the salads cost, so:

Answer is $6.23.

Can someone tell me how to do this? with steps?
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In Δ AFB,

∠AFB + ∠ABF + ∠A = 180   {Angle sum property of triangle}

90 + 48 + ∠1 = 180

       138 + ∠1 = 180

                 ∠1 = 180 - 138

∠1 = 42°

FC // ED and FD is transversal

So, ∠CFD ≅∠EDF   {Alternate interior angles are congruent}

     ∠2 = 39°

In ΔFCD,

∠2 + ∠3 + ∠FCD = 180

39 + ∠3 + 90 = 180

         129 +∠3 = 180

                   ∠3 = 180- 129

∠3 = 51°
