The dimensions of the box are 10 ft and 5 ft

The maximum volume is 500 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle box with

  • A square base and no top
  • It needs to be made using 300 ft² of material
  • It has greatest volume

Surface area of a box without top (SA) = perimeter of base × height + area of the base

Volume of a box (V) = base area × height

Assume that the length of the side of the square base is x and the height of the box is y

∵ It needs to be made using 300 ft² of material

∴ The surface area of the box is 300 ft²

∵ Its base is a square of side length x ft

∴ Perimeter of the base = 4 × x = 4 x

∴ Area of the base = x²

∵ The height of the box = y ft

∵ SA = perimeter of base × height + area of the base

∵ SA = (4x)(y) + x²

∴ SA = 4xy + x²

∵ SA of the box = 300 ft²

- Equate the two expressions of SA

∴ 4xy + x² = 300

Now let us find y in terms of x

- Subtract x² from both sides

∴ 4xy = 300 - x²

- Divide each term by 4x to find y

∴ y=\frac{75}{x}-\frac{1}{4}x

∵ V = area of the base × height

∴ V = x² × y = x²y

- Substitute y by the equation of it above

∴ V=x^{2}(\frac{75}{x}-\frac{1}{4}x)

∴ V=75x-\frac{1}{4}x^{3}

∵ The volume of the box is greatest

- That means differentiate V and equate it by 0

∵ \frac{dV}{dx}=75-\frac{3}{4}x^{2}

∵ \frac{dV}{dx}=0 ⇒ greatest volume

∴ 75-\frac{3}{4}x^{2}=0

- Subtract 75 from both sides

∴ -\frac{3}{4}x^{2}=-75

- Divide both sides by -\frac{3}{4}

∴ x² = 100

- Take √ for both sides

∴ x = 10

Substitute the value of x in the equation of y

∵ y=\frac{75}{10}-\frac{1}{4}(10)

∴ y = 5

The dimensions of the box are 10 ft and 5 ft

∵ V=75x-\frac{1}{4}x^{3}

∵ x = 10

∴ V=75(10)-\frac{1}{4}(10)^{3}

∴ V=750-\frac{1}{4}(1000)

∴ V = 750 - 250

∴ V = 500 ft³

The maximum volume is 500 ft³

Number 31 please guys!!!!!
monitta
the answer is c
this is because, first you use the distributive property. Multiply 'y' by the number 3 and you get 3y
then multiply 3 by the number 4.
you get 12
subtract 7 from 12 and you get 5

So, the expression becomes 3y+5


Hope this helped!!

A home is to be built on a 56 foot 9 inch wide lot. The house is 5 feet 5 inches from the side of the lot and is 34 feet 10 inch
daser333 [38]
<span>Total lot - house -other side
=(56 ft 9 in) - (34 ft 10 in) - (5 ft 5 in)
=(55 ft 21 in) - (34 ft 10 in) - (5 ft 5 in)
=16 ft 6 in
Convert to inches: </span>16 ft x 12 in/ft)+ 6 in= Total in inches<span>192 in + 6 in= Total in inches
198 in= Total in inches 
Check: One side + house + other side = Lot width
(5 ft 5 in)+(34 ft 10 in)+(16 ft 6 in)=Lot width
56 ft 9 in=Lot width, which equals the given.</span>

Is 1 1/4 + 1 1/4 = 2 3/4 correct?
laila [671]

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

11/4 plus 11/4 is 22/4

to make this a whole number and a fraction we subtract 4 from the 22 as many times as we can. we can do this 5 times, with 2 left over.

the answer is 5 2/4, which you can simplify to 5 and a half
