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

Can somebody who knows how to do probability please help answer these questions correctly? Thanks! (Btw the P= probability)
stira [4]

Answer:

P(2): 1/5

P(4): 1/5

P(odd number): 3/5

P(whole number): 5/5

P(6): 0/5

P(2 or 3): 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 5 <em>equal </em>sections in this circle. So, the probability to land in each section is 1/5.

The odd numbers are 1, 3, and 5. Since each section is 1/5, you add

1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5 = 3/5. That is the probability that you will land in any odd number.

Because all the numbers listed are whole numbers, no matter where the spinner lands it will be a whole number. So, the probability is 5/5 for whole numbers.

Since 6 is not a section, it's probability will be 0/5 (or you can just put 0).

"Or" means you add the two probabilities. Add the probability of landing on 3 (which is 1/5) to the probability of landing on 2 (which is also 1/5). So, you get 2/5.
