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

Calculate the velocity of a baseball that travels 100 m in 5 sec.
r-ruslan [8.4K]

The velocity of the baseball is 20m/s

Velocity can be described as the speed of an object that is moving in a particular direction

The formula for calculating velocity is

velocity= displacement/time

The first step is to write out the parameters given in the question.

time= 5 seconds

displacement= 100m

The velocity can be calculated as follows;

velocity/displacement

= 100/5

= 20

Hence the velocity of the ball is 20m/s

Please see the link below for more information on velocity

Find the area of the rhombus. 
Inessa [10]

A=24


Find the area by multiplying both diagonals and dividing them by 2. Like so: And you might be wondering how to do that. By using the pythagorean theorem and some simple addition, you could get the answer. One diagonal is 8 and the other is 6....so, 8x6=48....48/2=24
