Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let  a rectangle box whose dimensions are u and v.Then, (u/2, v/2)

must lie on the ellipse

Given equation of ellipse

\frac{x^2}{25}+\frac{y^2}{16}=1

(u/2,v/2)must lie on the circle therefore,

\frac{u^2}{100}+\frac{v^2}{64}=1

with u,v\geq 0

Suppose , we have  to maximize a  function f(u,v)=uv subject to constraints g(u,v)=\frac{u^2}{100}+\frac{v^2}{64}=1

\nabla f= \nabla g=

Using Lagrange multipliers method

\nabla f=\lambda\nabla g

v=\lambda \frac{u}{50}

u=\lambda\frac{v}{32}

\lambda=\frac{50v}{u}=\frac{32u}{v}

50v^2=32u^2

if u=0 then v=0 g(u,v)=0\neq 1

It is absurd condition.

Therefore, we take u and v >0

v^2=\frac{32u^2}{50}=\frac{16}{25}u^2

Substitute the value in ellipse equation then we get

\frac{u^2}{100}+\frac{u^2}{100}=1

\frac{2u^2}{100}=1

u^2=50

u=5 \sqrt2

v^2=\frac{16}{25}\times 50=32

v=4\sqrt2

The critical point is (5\sqrt2, 4\sqrt2).

Therefore, we concluded that the dimensions of the rectangle of greatest area is attained by choosing a box of dimensions 5\sqrt2 \times 4\sqrt2.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

take theta as reference angle

using sin rule

sin theta=opposite/hypotenuse

sin theta=5/13

sin theta=0.38

theta=sin 23

therefore the value of theta is 23 degree

Ann and ben had some apples. The ratio of the number of Ann's apples to the ratio of Ben's apple is 2:3. Ann gave 6 apples to be
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

There are 12 apples in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Anne gave Ben 6 apples then heres how:

2:3 subrtact 6 apples = 1:3

6 apples x 2 = 12 apples =

2 ÷ 2 = 1

Hence, your answer is double 6 which is 12 apples.

Hope this helps :)

Please help ASAP this Is due tomorrow
Grace [21]

Answer:

384 inches²

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a cube is found by using 6a².

6 = the number of sides in a cube

a = the given dimension (in this case, 8 inches long)

SA = (6)8²

SA = 6(64)

SA = 384

Hope this helps, sorry if it’s not what you’re looking for :)
