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

If a ∝ b and a = 18 when b = 3, then find a when b = 5.
Elden [556K]

"a ∝ b" means "a is proportional to b", which in turn means there is some constant k such that

a = kb

We're given that a = 18 and b = 3, so that

18 = 3k   ⇒   k = 6

Then when b = 5, we would have

a = 6 × 5 = 30

PLEASE HELP WITH MATH.BEST ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST. You have to find the volume of the figure below.
castortr0y [4]
Volume = width × height × length. First let's concentrate on the rectangular prism. This has 4 for its height and 5 for its width so you do 4 × 5 (=20) × 10 (because the length of the rectangular prism is the same as the triangular prism, so we will use the length of the triangular one) = 200m³ for the rectangular one. To work out the triangular one, it's the same, but whatever answer you get you divide it by 2 because a triangle is just a rectangle cut in half diagonally. Therefore, 3 × 5 (=15) × 10 = 150. Then divided by 2 = 75m³. Total volume = volume of rectangular prism + triangular prism Therefore total volume = 200 + 75 = 275m³.
