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

Why is 2 the only even prime number
Temka [501]

Answer:

<em>A prime number is a whole number greater than 1 whose only factors are 1 and itself</em>

two is the only even prime number because it is divisible by only two and one. All the other even numbers are not prime because they are all divisible by two.

Answer:

  • x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

  • x + 75 + x + 125 = 180 as supplementary (same side interior angles)
  • 2x + 200 = 180
  • 2x = -20
  • x = -10
