The optimum shape of such a box is half a cube. The corresponding cube will have a volume of 2×256 ft³ = 512 ft³ = (8 ft)³. Such a box has a square base that is 8 ft on a side. If the height is half that of the cube, it will be 4 ft.
The dimensions of your box will be 8 ft square by 4 ft high.
_____
If the base dimension is x ft, the area (quantity of material) is
... a = x² + 4x(256/x²)
... a = x² + 1024x⁻¹
Then the derivative of area with respect to x is
... a' = 2x -1024x⁻²
Setting this derivative to zero and solving for x gives the value of x for minimum area.
... 0 = 2x -1024/x²
... 512 = x³
... x = 8 . . . . . . . . same as above.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Note the common difference d between consecutive terms of the sequence
8 - 6 = 10 - 8 = 2
This indicates that the sequence is arithmetic with n th term
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = 6 and d = 2, thus
= 6 + 2(n - 1) = 6 + 2n - 2 = 2n + 4 ← explicit formula
Hence
= (2 × 130) + 4 = 260 + 4 = 264
Answer:
12 cubes
Step-by-step explanation:
If the total volume of the box is 24 cm³ and the volume of each cube is 1 cm³ then that means that 24 total cubes can fit perfectly inside the box. Since there can only be two layers of cubes then we simply need to divide the total amount of cubes that will fit in the box by 2 to find the number of cubes in each layer...
24 / 2 = 12 cubes
Finally, we can see that each layer within the box will contain 12 cubes
The equations we get are
l = 6 + 2w (We get this from "The length of the rectangle is 6 more than 2 times the width.")
and
2l + 2w = 140 (We get this from the perimeter. Two times the length plus two times the width equals the perimeter of a quadrilateral.)
The first equation can be written as
l - 2w = 6
So now we have
2l + 2w = 140
l - 2w = 6
____________
Add the two equations.
We get 3l = 146
Divide by 3 on both sides.
l =
48
Your answer is
48

Answer:
x = 67°
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°
Subtract the sum of the 2 angles from 180 for x , that is
x = 180° - (38 + 75)° = 180° - 113° = 67°
