Label the 3 distinct sides of the box. I arbitrarily chose the letters a, b and c.
Use the info about areas as follows:
ab=54 in^2
ac=90 in^2
bc=60 in^2
Here you have 3 equations in 3 unknowns (a, b and c), which is enough info to use to determine a, b and c. Then the volume of the box is a*b*c.
Example: bc = 90, but c = 60/b. You could subst. 60/b for c in the 2nd and 3rd equation, which will eliminate c completely and leave you with 2 equations in 2 unknowns.
Continuing this procedure, I determined that a=9, b=6 and c=10. Thus, the volume of the box is V = 9*6*10 = 540 cubic inches (answer)
Splitting up the interval [0, 6] into 6 subintervals means we have
and the respective midpoints are
. We can write these sequentially as
where
.
So the integral is approximately
Recall that
so our sum becomes
I’m pretty sure that’s true.
The result you get when you divide is 11 + 16/x + 1
1 and 3 over 25
Be sure to rate me up and give me a thanks :D
