Explanation:

Let x, be the length of the square box and S be the surface of the box,

Let y, be the height of the square box and V for the volume.

               V = x^2*y

The top of the box is open and the material of the box is equal to the surface area of box.

                S= x^2 + 2xy + 2xy

then,        S=x^2+4xy

Putting the value of S (surface area).

                10800=x^{2} +4xy

                y=\frac{10800 - x^2}{4x}

subtitutting the following equation in volume at the place of y.

               V=x^{2}(\frac{10800-x^2}{4x} )

Then,      V=2700x*\frac{1}{4}x^3

Differentiate the volume to 0.

               V'=2700-\frac{3}{4}x^2

Then,       \frac{3}{4}x^2 = 2700

∴              x^2 = 3600

and          x=60 , y=30

Then, we have to find maximum volume by putting the value of x.

                V=(2700*60) - (\frac{1}{4}(60) )

                V=10,8000 cm^3

What are you given variables?
Surface area of box: 10800cm² 
Volume of box: s²h 
<span>Where: 
</span>SA=surface area
s = side of square base 
h = height of box 

Make the height of the box in terms of s 
You can write the formula for the surface area of the box in terms of s and h like so: 
S.A. = s² + 4sh 
Where: S.A. = surface area or 1200 cm², s² = the square base, and 4sh = the four 'walls' of the box. 
10800 = s² + 4sh 
10800 - s² = 4sh 
(10800 - s²)/(4s) = h 

Substitute h (in terms of s) into the formula for volume. 
v(s) = s²((10800- s²)/(4s)) // Simplify. 
v(s) = s(10800 - s²)/4 // Expand. 
v(s) = 2700s - (1/4)s^3 // To find the largest possible volume of the box, you find the maximum value of this function. 

Take the derivative of the volume function using the Power Theorem. 
v'(s) = 2700 - (3/4)s² // Zeroes of the d/dx v function will give you the x values that correspond to local extrema in the v function. 
0 = 2700 - (3/4)s² // Solve for zeroes. 
-2700= (-3/4)s² 
3600= s² 
Your two zero values for s are -60 and 60. 

Take the second derivative to see if the s values will give you a local maximum or minimum. 
v"(s) = -(3/2)s 
v"(-60) = -(3/2)(-60) 
v"(-60) = 90 // This indicates a local minimum for v at s, not what we are looking for. 
v"(60) = -(3/2)(60) 
v"(60) = -90 // This indicates a local maximum for v at s, which is what we are looking for, the maximum volume of the box. This makes sense because if you remember what we assigned the variable s to, a side length, side lengths cannot be negative. 

Once we have found the value for s, we can substitute it into the function we created for the volume of the box. 
v(s) = 2700s- (1/4)s^3 
v(s) = 2700(60) - (1/4)(60)^3 
v(s) = 162000- (1/4)(216000) 
v = 162000- 54000 

The largest possible volume of the box is 108000 cubic centimeters.

Answer and Explanation:

According to Von Thünen's arrangement around the market, the city is the center of the production process, but it is the one that contributes with lesser responsibilities in relation to the analysis of economic problems, as it is located in a smaller area and with less economic impact. The areas of milk production are larger than the areas of the city and, successively, the areas of pastures, forests and grain fields are larger than the other ones, and the larger, the more responsiveness within the presentation market, as well as a greater econometrics in the economic process of a region.

<em>A stitch in time saves nine</em> is an idiom meaning that it's better to deal with problems right away and spend less time doing that than later when more time is going to be needed.

<em>A penny saved is a penny earned </em>is an idiom meanings that saving money, even little by little, is as useful as earning more.

Evaluate the extent to which the Atlantic Revolutions shared similar causes during the 1750 to 1900 time
olga2289 [7]

From 1750-1900, It can be seen that the Atlantic Revolutions were known to share similar causes because they reacted back to the oppression of Absolutists governments and their ernest desire for popular sovereignty.

<h3>What is the similarity of the Atlantic Revolutions?</h3>

They are also known for the fact that they wanted to free themselves from the mercantilist policies and have their personal economic autonomy. They are known to be inspired by great thinking based on the freedoms of religion.

The Atlantic revolutions influenced the early modern historical developments as it help to bring about an era of new social organization e.g. the emergence of democracies.
