A box (with no top) is to be constructed from a piece of cardboard of sides a and b by cutting out squares of length h from the

corners and folding up the sides. find the value of h that maximizes the volume of the box if a = 8 and b = 9.

<span>The volume of the box is h(8-2h)(9-2h). Differentiating this gives dV/dh = 12h^2-68h+72. The derivative is zero when h = (17+sqrt(73))/6 or (17-sqrt(73))/6. The second derivative is positive for the first value, so this gives a minimum volume. The second derivative is negative for the second value, so this gives the maximum volume. So the value of h that maximizes the volume of the box is (17-sqrt(73))/6, which is approximately 1.41.</span>

(1+sin y)(1+sin (-y))=cos^2 y)
Sloan [31]
(1+siny)(1+sin(-y))=cos^2y\\\\L=(1+siny)(1-siny)=1^2-sin^2y=1-sin^2y=cos^2y\\\\R=cos^2y\\\\L=R


sin(-x)=-sinx\\\\sin^2x+cos^2x=1\to1-sin^2x=cos^2x\\\\(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST Given: BFCE, AB perpendicular to BE, DE perpendicular to BE,
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given picture,

∠ABE = ∠DEF = 90° [Since, AB and DE are perpendicular to DE]

m∠ECA = m∠BFD [Given]

m∠ECA + m∠ACB = 180° [Liner pair of angles]

m∠BFD + m∠DFE = 180° [Liner pair of angles]

m∠ACB + m∠ECA = m∠BFD + m∠DFE [Transitive property]

m∠ACB = m∠DEF [Since, m∠ECA = m∠BFD]

Therefore, ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF [By AA property of similarity]
