Answer:

Dimension of the box is 16.1\times 7.1\times 2.45

The volume of the box is 280.05 in³.

Step-by-step explanation:          

Given : The open rectangular box of maximum volume that can be made from a sheet of cardboard 21 in. by 12 in. by cutting congruent squares from the corners and folding up the sides.

To find : The dimensions and the volume of the box?

Solution :

Let h be the height of the box which is the side length of a corner square.

According to question,

A sheet of cardboard 21 in. by 12 in. by cutting congruent squares from the corners and folding up the sides.

The length of the box is L=21-2h

The width of the box is W=12-2h

The volume of the box is V=L\times W\times H

V=(21-2h)\times (12-2h)\times h

V=(21-2h)\times (12h-2h^2)

V=252h-42h^2-24h^2+4h^3

V=4h^3-66h^2+252h

To maximize the volume we find derivative of volume and put it to zero.

V'=12h^2-132h+252

0=12h^2-132h+252

Solving by quadratic formula,

h=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

h=\frac{-(-132)\pm\sqrt{132^2-4(12)(252)}}{2(12)}

h=\frac{132\pm72.99}{24}

h=2.45,8.54

Now, substitute the value of h in the volume,

V=4h^3-66h^2+252h

When, h=2.45

V=4(2.45)^3-66(2.45)^2+252(2.45)

V\approx 280.05

When, h=8.54

V=4(8.54)^3-66(8.54)^2+252(8.54)

V\approx -170.06

Rejecting the negative volume as it is not possible.

Therefore, The volume of the box is 280.05 in³.

The dimension of the box is

The height of the box is h=2.45

The length of the box is L=21-2(2.45)=16.1

The width of the box is W=12-2(2.45)=7.1

So, Dimension of the box is 16.1\times 7.1\times 2.45

Each block in Ton’s neighborhood is 2/3 mile long if he walk 4 1/2 blocks how far does he walk?
nataly862011 [7]

if each block is 2/3 miles long, and he walks 4 1/2 blocks, we can simply multiply to two. It looks like this:

(2/3)(4 1/2)

to multiply, make 4 1/2 into an improper fraction and multiply normally

(2/3)(9/4)

Ton walks 3 miles total.

Real quick please. At a carnival it costs $6.54 for 3 tickets. Write an equation that can be used to express the relationship be
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

t=2.18n

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost is 6.54 for 3 tickets so divide 6.54 by 3 and you get price per ticket which is 2.18. Multiply that by how many tickets you want and you get your final price.

Max can travel 100 miles in 2 hours. At this rate, how many hours will it take him to travel 650 miles?
Tamiku [17]
100miles in 2hrs
650miles in x hrs

If you think of it 650/100 = 6.5

So the distance is 6.5 times

So the time is 6.5 times 2hrs

=13 hrs total
