The rectangle shown as a perimeter of 70 cm and the given area. It’s length is 8 more than twice it’s width. Write and solve a s
Olenka [21]

width of the rectangle = b = x

length of the rectangle = l = 8 + 2x

Perimeter of the rectangle = 70cm

Also, perimeter of the rectangle = 2(l + b)

70 = 2[x + (8 + 2x)]

70 = 2(x + 8 + 2x)

70 = 2(3x + 8)

70 = 6x + 16

70 - 16 = 6x

54 = 6x

54/6 = x

9 = x

Therefore, b = x

b = 9cm

l = 8 + 2x

I = 8 + 2×9

I = 8 + 18

I = 26cm

According to postal regulations, a carton is classified as "oversized" if the sum of its height and girth (the perimeter of its
Amanda [17]

Answer:

V(max) =  8712.07 in³

Dimensions:

x (side of the square base)  = 16.33 in

girth   = 65.32 in

height = 32.67 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x  = side of the square base

h = the height of the postal

Then according to problem statement we have:

girth = 4*x     (perimeter of the base)

and

4* x  +  h  = 98  (at the most)   so   h = 98 - 4x  (1)

Then

V = x²*h

V = x²* ( 98 - 4x)

V(x) = 98*x² - 4x³

Taking dervatives (both menbers of the equation we have:

V´(x)  =  196 x   -  12 x²        ⇒   V´(x) = 0

196x - 12x²  = 0   first root of the equation  x = 0

Then   196 -12x = 0      12x = 196     x = 196/12

x = 16,33 in      ⇒    girth = 4 * (16.33)       ⇒ girth = 65.32 in

and from equation (1)

y = 98 - 4x       ⇒  y = 98 -4 (16,33)

y = 32.67 in

and maximun volume of a carton V is

V(max) = (16,33)²* 32,67

V(max) = 8712.07 in³
