<span>The area of the base is x^2> The height is h. Each side of the box has area xh. There are 4 sides of the box so the total surface area of the box is x^2+4xh and that is equal to 1000. Solve that equation for h: x^2+4xh = 1000 h = (1000-x^2)/4x so the Volume = x^2[(1000-x^2)/4x] Simplify and get V = 250x-x^3/4 The volume will be a maximum when its first derivative is 0. V' = 250-3/4x^2 Set to 0 and solve. x=18.26 Now plug into the volume function to find the maximum volume: V=250(18.26)-(18.26)^3/4 V= 4564.35 - 1522.10 =3042.25</span>

Answer:

Maximum volume of the box is 3042.91 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the material available to make a box with square base and open top = 1000 square cm.

Total surface area of the box = 2(lh + bh) + l×b

Where l = length of the box

b = width of the box

h = height of the box

If l = b, Total surface area of the box = 2(lh + lh) + l×l

Surface area = 4lh + l² = 1000

l(4h + l) = 1000

4h + l = \frac{1000}{l}

h = \frac{1000}{4l}-\frac{l}{4}

Now volume of the square box = lbh

V = l²h

V = l²(\frac{250}{l}-\frac{l}{4})

V = 250l - \frac{l^{3}}{4}

Now to calculate the maximum volume we have to find the derivative of the volume.

\frac{dV}{dl}=250-\frac{3l^{2} }{4}

By equating derivative to zero,

250 - \frac{3l^{2}}{4} = 0

l = \sqrt{\frac{250\times 4}{3}}

l = 18.26 cm

For l = 18.26, V = 250(18.26) - \frac{(18.26)^{3}}{4}

V = 4565 - 1522.09

  = 3042.91 cm³

Therefore, maximum volume of the box is 3042.91 cm³

Nikki has 3 pieces of yarn. the first piece is 5/6 feet long the second piece is 5/3 feet long and the third piece is 3/2 oder s
xenn [34]
I think you are asking to sort them according to the shortest to longest in length. For this, it would be helpful to write the fraction into decimal. The equivalent values are as follows:

5/6 = 0.83
5/3 = 1.67
3/2 = 1.50

Therefore, the correct sorting would be as follows:

first yarn
third yarn
second yarn

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

The radius of Earth is about 3,980 miles. What expression can be used to find the approximate diameter of Earth?
Tatiana [17]
To find the diameter, you use the formula: 2x. we use 2x because the radius is 2 times the diameter.

so, if the radius is 3,980, then we substitute that into the formula.

2(3,980)

this will give us 7960. the diameter is 7960 miles.

Can't figure out how to set up and check to see if right. 8/11(n-10)=64
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{8}{11}(n-10)=64\\\\\frac{8(x-10)}{11}=64\\ 8(x-10) = 64(11)\\8(x-10) = 704\\8x-80 = 704\\8x= 704+80\\8x=784\\\\\frac{8x}{8}=\frac{784}{8}  \\x=98
