Volume = are base*height
32 = x^2*h --> h = 32/x^2

surface area =  4x(32/x^2) + x^2 
SA = 128/x + x^2

SA' = -128/x^2 + 2x = 0
2x = 128/x^2
2x^3 = 128
x^3 = 64
x = 4

surface area minimized when length of base is 4 in.

hope this help

81p² + 5 = 41 <br>how do I solve by square roots<br><br>​
ycow [4]

Answer:

p = ± \frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

81p² + 5 = 41 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

81p² = 36 ( divide both sides by 81 )

p² = \frac{36}{81} ( take the square root of both sides )

p = ± \sqrt{\frac{36}{81} }

   = ± \frac{\sqrt{36} }{\sqrt{81} } = ± \frac{6}{9} = ± \frac{2}{3}

A cylinder is 20 inches long and has a diameter of 10 inches. The approximate volume of the cylinder is blank cubic centimeters.
JulijaS [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

V= π r^2h

^

Pi

First you need the radius, if the diameter is 10inches divide by 2 = 5 inches, that's your radius.

π(5inches)^2 times (20 inches)

firsr work out 5^2= 5x5= 25

π(25inches) times (20inches)

25x20=500π inches

500π =1,570.7963267948966192313216916397514420985

which rounds to 1,570, the first one is your answer
