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

A carpenter has a board that is 8 feet long. He cuts off two pieces. One piece is 3 1/2 feet long and the other is 2 1/3 feet lo
Aneli [31]
Add 3 1/2 and 2 1/3, 

Firstly, find the common denominator. It is is 6

3 3/6 + 2 2/6

this gets you 5 5/6.

Take this away from 8:

8 - 5 5/6 = 2 1/6

So 2 1/6 of the board is left over.

topjm [15]

Answer:

534 is the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

to calculate the mean you add all the numbers together (for example this set of numbers):

785, 585, 465, 409, 495, 465

=3204

then divide the number of numbers that you added together , (in this case 6)

3204/6

=

534
