Answer:

The dimension of the box is 17.66 in by 7.66 in by 2.67 in.

Therefore the volume of the box is 361.19 in^3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the dimensions of a cardboard is 23 in by 13 in.

Let the side of the square be x in.

Then the length of the box= (23-2x) in

and the width of the box =(13-2x) in

and height = x in.

The volume of the box is = length ×width × height

                                         =[(23-2x)(13-2x)x] in^3

                                         =(299x-72x² +4x^3) in^3

∴V=299x-72x² +4x³

Differentiating with respect x

V'= 299-144x+12x²

Again differentiating with respect x

V''= -144+24x

To find the dimensions, we set V'=0

∴299-144x+12x²=0

Applying Sridharacharya formula that is the solution of a quadratic equation ax²+bx+c is x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Here a=12, b=-144 , c=299

\therefore x=\frac{-(-144)\pm\sqrt{(-144)^2-4.12.299}}{2.12}

\Rightarrow x= 9.33, 2.67

If  we take x=9.33 in, then the width of the box [13-(2×9.33)] will negative.

∴x = 2.67 in

If at x = 2.67, V''<0 , then the volume of the box will be maximum or V''>0 then volume of the box will be minimum.

V''|_{x=2.67}=-144+(24\times 2.67)=-79.92

Therefore  at x = 2.67, the volume of the box maximum.

The length of the box =[23-(2×2.67)] in

                                    =17.66 in

The width of the box =[13-(2×2.67)] in

                                  =7.66 in

The height of the box= 2.67 in

The dimension of the box is 17.66 in by 7.66 in by 2.67 in.

Therefore the volume of the box is =(17.66×7.66×2.67) in^3

                                                            =361.19 in^3

Ms cais class is studying a study pattern.the rule for the tile pattern is y=10x-18.kalil thinks that figure 12 of this pattern
Allisa [31]

I assume that x = figure no.

It's better to write this as

Tiles = 10n-18

Thus 10(12) - 18

=120 - 18

= 102

THUS HE IS WRONG.

What are the dimensions of the largest 30-60-90 triangle that will fit inside a 45-45-90 triangle with leg length 14in.? Sketch
SSSSS [86.1K]
The dimensions would be 7√2, 7√6 and 14√2.

A 45-45-90 triangle has two equal legs and a hypotenuse that is equal to the leg multiplied by the square root of two (t, t, t√2).

A 30-60-90 triangle has legs that are equal to t, t√3, and 2t.  

The longest side on the 45-45-90 triangle will be 14√2.  This will also be the longest side of the 30-60-90 triangle; this gives us

2t = 14√2

Dividing both sides by 2, we have
2t/2 = 14√2/2
t = 7√2

We now have t and 2t; we lack t√3:

t = 7√2
t√3 = 7√2(√3) = 7√6.

Find the missing side. round to the nearest tenth
barxatty [35]
So you would use the law of sines so set up the equation sin18/16 = sin72/x (sin 72 being the top angle) and then you cross multiply and solve from there:)
Hope this helps!
