Answer:

the dimensions of the most economical shed are height = 10 ft and side 5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

volume = 250 cubic feet

base costs = $4 per square​ foot

material for the roof costs =  ​$6 per square​ foot

material for the sides costs = ​$2.50 per square foot

to find out

the dimensions of the most economical shed

solution

let us consider length of side x and height is h

so we can say x²h = 250

and h = 250 / x²

now cost of material  = cost of base + cost top + cost 4 side

cost  = x²(4) + x²(6)  + 4xh (2.5)

cost = 10  x² + 10xh

put here h = 250 / x²

cost = 10  x² + 10x (250/ x² )

cost = 10  x² +  (2500/ x )

differentiate and  we get

c' = 20 x - 2500 / x²

put c' = 0 solve x

20 x - 2500 / x²  = 0

x = 5

so we say one side is 5 ft  base

and height is  h = 250 / x²

h = 250 / 5²

height = 10 ft

1. June says that there should be a decimal point in the quotient below after the 4. Is she correct? Use number sense to explain
charle [14.2K]

43.94 / 5.2 = 845 is impossible because it would mean that 845 * 5.2 is equal to 43.94 which would be a non sense.

Even if you multiply 84.5 * 5.2 you will still get a bigger result than 43.94 obviously.

The only way this division would make sense, it is if the result is 8.45 so the decimal point should be before the 4 and not after it so June is not correct.

GOod luck :)
