The base of the box is b ft by b ft and the height is h ft. 
<span>Since the volume is 40 ft³, </span>
<span>h = 40/b² </span>

<span>area of bottom = area of top = b² ft² </span>
<span>area of one side = bh </span>
<span>cost C = 2·4b² + 4·7bh </span>
<span>= 8b² + 28b(40/b²) </span>
<span>= 8b² + 1120/b </span>
<span>dC/db = 16b - 1120/b² </span>

<span>min cost when dC/db = 0 </span>
<span>16b = 1120/b² </span>
<span>b = ∛70 ≅ 4.12 ft </span>
<span>h = 40/b² ≅ 2.36 ft</span>

Quadrilateral jklm is a rhombus. the diagonals intersect at n. if the measure of angle jkl is 104°, find the measure of angle jk
Paul [167]
The diagram of rhombus JKLM is shown in the diagram below

A rhombus is a quadrilateral with four equal sides and its diagonals intersect perpendicular to each other (makes 90° angles). Opposite angles are equal (the same with a parallelogram). Each diagonal bisects the angle at J, K, L, and M equally

If angle JKL is 104°, the measurement of angle JKN is 104÷2=51°

Susan decided to start a bracelet business. She spent $17.75 on supplies for her
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Given that:

Susan spent on supplies = $17.75

Earning of june = 24 * $3.25

Earning of June = $78

1/4 of earning = 1/4 * 78

1/4 of earning = $19.5

So Susan will set $19.5 aside for supplies of next month and remaining amount she will have is : 78 - 19.5 = $58.5

i hope it will help you!
