The maximum volume of the box is 40√(10/27) cu in.
Here we see that volume is to be maximized
The surface area of the box is 40 sq in
Since the top lid is open, the surface area will be
lb + 2lh + 2bh = 40
Now, the length is equal to the breadth.
Let them be x in
Hence,
x² + 2xh + 2xh = 40
or, 4xh = 40 - x²
or, h = 10/x - x/4
Let f(x) = volume of the box
= lbh
Hence,
f(x) = x²(10/x - x/4)
= 10x - x³/4
differentiating with respect to x and equating it to 0 gives us
f'(x) = 10 - 3x²/4 = 0
or, 3x²/4 = 10
or, x² = 40/3
Hence x will be equal to 2√(10/3)
Now to check whether this value of x will give us the max volume, we will find
f"(2√(10/3))
f"(x) = -3x/2
hence,
f"(2√(10/3)) = -3√(10/3)
Since the above value is negative, volume is maximum for x = 2√(10/3)
Hence volume
= 10 X 2√(10/3) - [2√(10/3)]³/4
= 2√(10/3) [10 - 10/3]
= 2√(10/3) X 20/3
= 40√(10/27) cu in

Answer:
9 laps.
Step-by-step explanation:
-Let x be the number of laps Taylor runs.
-Given that the ratio of Kyle to Taylor laps is 2:3, we express the actual laps in meters to solve for x as follows:

Hence, Taylor runs 9 laps.
Can you re-phrase the question
x=4,3,2 or,1 are the possible
1) Find the radius of the circle. You can do that by inspection; no work required.
2) Use the "area of a circle" formula A = pi r^2 to calculate the area.
3) Round off your area calculation to the nearest hundredth.
