A cylindrical package to be sent by a postal service can have a maximum combined length and girth (perimeter of a cross section)

of 141 inches. Find the dimensions of the package of maximum volume that can be sent. (The cross section is circular.)

Answer:

Length = 47 in

Radius = 47/π in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'h' be the length of the package, and 'r' be the radius of the cross section.

The length and girth combined are:

L+G=141=h+2\pi r\\h=141-2\pi r

The volume of the cylindrical package is:

V=A_b*h\\V=\pi r^2*h

Rewriting the volume as a function of 'r':

V=\pi r^2*h\\V=\pi r^2*(141-2\pi r)\\V=141\pi r^2-2\pi^2 r^3

The value of 'r' for which the derivate of the volume function is zero yields the maximum volume:

V=141\pi r^2-2\pi^2 r^3\\\frac{dV}{dr}=282\pi r-6\pi^2r^2=0\\ 6\pi r=282\\r=\frac{47}{\pi} \ in

The length is:

h=141-2\pi r=141-2\pi*\frac{47}{\pi}\\h=47\ in

The dimensions that yield the maximum volume are:

Length = 47 in

Radius = 47/π in

What is the radius of 18 circle?<br><br><br><br><br>​
yulyashka [42]
To find the radius, then, we insert 18 in for the circumference. So 18=2∏r. Solving for r gives 9/∏, or approximately 2.86 inches.

Janet makes homemade dolls. Currently, she produces 23 dolls per month. If she increased her production by 18%, how many dolls w
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

First, calculate 18% of 23.

23 x 0.18 = 4.14

Then, add this value (the increase) to the original value of 23.

23 + 4.14 = 27.14

Rounding off, we get 27.
