Answer:

Side of 22 and height of 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s be the side of the square base and h be the height of the tank. Since the tank volume is restricted to 5324 ft cubed we have the following equation:

V = s^2h = 5324

h = 5324 / s^2

As the thickness is already defined, we can minimize the weight by minimizing the surface area of the tank

Base area with open top s^2

Side area 4sh

Total surface area A = s^2 + 4sh

We can substitute h = 5324 / s^2

A = s^2 + 4s\frac{5324}{s^2}

A = s^2 + 21296/s

To find the minimum of this function, we can take the first derivative, and set it to 0

A' = 2s - 21296/s^2 = 0

2s = 21296/s^2

s^3 = 10648

s = \sqrt[3]{10648} = 22

h = 5324 / s^2 = 5324 / 22^2 = 11

Find the value of x to the nearest tenth.<br>​
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Ok i hope this helps and if it does pls give me brainliest!

So the longest line is 8 and makes a 90 degree angle with another smaller line which is labled 3.6. X is longer than 3.6 ( only by a little bit) But it looks like its half of the longest line (8). So i think the answer would be X equals 4. But i was thinking about it more i relized that you would prob just divide 8 by 3.6 which would be 2.22222 .... And that rounded tot he nearest 10th would be 2.2.
