Answer:

6 in x 6 in x 3 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

V = xyz = 108   ⇒   z = 108/(xy)

The amount of the material used is

S = xy + 2yz + 2xz

Put value of z from the volume

S = xy + 2y*108/(xy) + 2x*108/(xy) = xy + 216/x + 216/y

Now, we find the relative minimum of the function S(x,y)

First, we find the critical point. Set Sx = 0  and  Sy = 0

and solve this system:

Sx(x,y) = y - (216/x²) = 0

Sy(x,y) = x - (216/y²) = 0

From the first equation we have

y = 216/x²

Put it in the second equation and find x

x - (216/(216/x²)²) = 0

⇒  x*(1 - (x³/216)) = 0

⇒  x₁ = 0   and  x₂ = 6

Now, we can find y as follows

y₁ = 216/(0)²   which is undefined

y₂ = 216/(6)² = 6

Hence, the only critical point of S is (6, 6). Next, we calculate the second ordered derivatives that we need for the second derivative test:

Sxx(x,y) = 432/x³

Sxy(x,y) = 1

Syy(x,y) = 432/y³

Applying the second derivative test

D(6, 6) = Sxx(6, 6)*Syy(6, 6) - S²xy(6, 6) = 2*2 - 1² = 4 -1 = 3 > 0

Sxx(6, 6) = 2 > 0

Since D(6, 6) > 0   and   Sxx(6, 6) > 0   we can conclude that S has a relative minimum at (6, 6).

z coordinate is:

z = 108/(xy) = 108 / (6*6) = 3

Finally, the dimentions of a box are 6 in x 6 in x 3 in.

H(t)=-10x+6 h(?)=-44
Andreyy89

Answer: h(<u>5</u>)=-44

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

h(t)=-10x+6

h(?)=-44

Substitute the [-44] value to the first equation

-44=-10x+6

Subtract 6 on both sides

-44-6=-10x+6-6

-50=-10x

Divide -10 on both sides

-50/-10=-10x/-10

x=5

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

  1) triangles are similar

Step-by-step explanation:

The height from vertex X of isosceles ∆WXY is 4 units. The width WY is also 4 units. In isosceles ∆UVW, the height from vertex V is 6 units, and the width UW is also 6 units.

The height ratios are ...

  ∆WXY/∆UVW = 4/6

The width ratios are ...

  ∆WXY/∆UVW = 4/6

The measures of ∆WXY are proportional to those of ∆UVW, so the triangles are similar.

_____

Strictly speaking, you cannot go by triangle height and width alone. That is why we made not of the fact that the triangles are <em>isosceles</em>. When base and height of an isosceles triangle are proportional, the Pythagorean theorem guarantees that side lengths are proportional. Trigonometry can also be invoked to support the claim that angles are congruent.
