<h2>Dimension of box is 2 m x 2 m x 1.33 m</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be base side and h be the height.

Volume of box, V = a²h

The sides of the box will cost $3 per m² and the base will cost $4 per m². Cost for making is $48.

That is

                 4a² + 3 x 4 x a x h = 48

                 4a² + 12 a x h = 48

                 a² + 3 ah = 12  

                 h=\frac{12-a^2}{3a}

So volume is

                    V=a^2\times \frac{12-a^2}{3a}=4a-\frac{a^3}{3}

At maximum volume we have derivative is zero,

                    dV=4da-3\times \frac{a^2}{3}da\\\\0=4-a^2\\\\a=\pm 2

Negative side is not possible, hence side of square base is 2m.

Substituting in  a² + 3 ah = 12  

                           2² + 3 x  2 x h = 12  

                             h = 1.33 m

Dimension of box is 2 m x 2 m x 1.33 m

How do I solve this?

a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)

In this case

49x^4y^2 - 4z^2

= (7x^2y)^2 - (2z)^2

= (7x^2y + 2z)(7x^2y - 2z)

Factors are (7x^2y + 2z) and (7x^2y - 2z)

Answer:

D) 7x^2y + 2z

Scrat [10]

Answer:

I really don't get what you're asking but in finding the new area 20 feet and 10 feet I found the area and the perimeter 14 cm2. I have found both perimeter and area so if you wanted an answer I guess it is in one of my answers.

To find the perimeter you do length + width so you do 12.4 + 5.9 to get the perimeter.

If line segment AB represents ​25%, what is the length of a line segment that is​ 100%?
kicyunya [14]

If I am correctly understanding the question, I think the length of the line segment would be 4AB

Step-by-step explanation:

25% = 1/4

AB = 1/4

100% = 4/4

AB*4 = 4AB

Multiply AB by 4 to find the value that 100% would equal, resulting in 4AB.
