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

Area of the figure = 806.5 in²

Solution:

Length of the rectangle = 16 in

Breadth of the rectangle = 9 in

Area of the rectangle = length × breadth

                                    = 16 × 9

Area of the rectangle = 144 in²

Base of the triangle = 31 in

Height of the triangle = 20 in

Area of the triangle = \frac{1}{2}bh

                                 $=\frac{1}{2}\times 31\times 20

Area of the triangle = 310 in²

Parallel sides of the trapezium = 16 in and 31 in

Height of the trapezium = 35 – 20 = 15 in

Area of the trapezium = \frac{1}{2}\times \text{Sum of the parallel sides}\times \text{Height}

                                     $=\frac{1}{2}\times {(16+31)}\times{15}

                                     $=\frac{1}{2}\times {47}\times{15}

Area of the trapezium = 352.5 in²

Area of the figure = Area of rectangle + Area of triangle + Area of trapezium

                              = 144 in² + 310 in² + 352.5 in²

Area of the figure = 806.5 in²

What is the surface area of the prism<br><br> A. 812<br> B. 1,190<br> C. 2,352<br> D. 132
seropon [69]

Answer:

B. 1,190 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

For given prism:

l = 16 cm, w = 7 cm, h = 21 cm

Surface area of of the prism

= 2 (lw + wh + hl)  \\  = 2(16 \times 7 + 7 \times 21 + 21 \times 16) \\  = 2(112 + 147 + 336) \\  = 2 \times 595 \\  = 1190 \:  {cm}^{2}  \\
