A box with an open top has vertical sides, a square bottom, and a volume of 108 cubic meters. if the box has the least possible
surface area, find its dimensions. (in your answer leave a space between the number and the unit.)
1 answer:
Let x be the height of the box and y be the length of one side of the base then:-
V = xy^2 = 108
x = 108/y^2
Surface area = y^2 + 4xy
S = y^2 + 4y* 108/y^2
S = y^2 + 432/y
Finding the derivative:-
dS/dy = 2y - 432/y^2 = 0
2y^3 = 432
y^3 = 216
y = 6
Check if this gives a minimum value:-
second derivative = 2 + 864/y^3 which is positive so minimum.
V = xy^2 = 108
36y = 108
y = 3
Answer :- dimensions of the box is 3*6*6 metres
