Let the side of the square base be x, and the height of the box be h. 

<span>The material of the base is x^2, and the material of the four sides is 4xh. </span>

<span>4000 = hx^2 </span>
<span>h = 4000/x^2 </span>

<span>The total material is </span>

<span>M = x^2 + 4x(4000/x^2) = x^2 + 16000/x </span>

<span>Take the first derivative of M and set equal to 0. </span>

<span>M' = 2x - 16000/x^2 = 0 </span>

<span>Multiply by x^2: </span>

<span>2x^3 = 16000 </span>
<span>x^3 = 8000 </span>
<span>x = 20; h = 10; M = 1200</span>

While in Europe, if you drive 123 km per day, how much money would you spend on gas in one week if gas costs 1.10 euros per lite
Leona [35]
First, you drive 123km per day, and they ask for in a week.
There are 7 days in a week, we have to multiply 123 by 7, which equals 861.
=km per week 861
Now, we need to find out how much cost the gas. Gas cost 1.10 euros per-liter, and this problem wants us to assume that 1euro = 1.26 dollars.
 
So, we divide 1.10 by 1.26 which is 0.87.
=gas cost 0.87 per liter.

Next, this person goes 31.0 mi/gal per stop.
To get the answer we need to divide 861 the full distance in a week and divide it by how many stops nee to be made which is each 31 mi/gal.

So, 861/31 = 27.77 and now we times 0.87 by 27.77 to get gas cost.
=24.16

1) 112° and since you can flip 68° exacly the same on both sides it is a vertical angle which means
3)68.
4) 90°
