The dimensions of minimize surface area are \boxed{13{\text{ in}}}{\text{ and }}\boxed{{\text{6}}{\text{.5 in}}} and the minimum surface area is \boxed{507{\text{ i}}{{\text{n}}^2}}.

Further explanation:

Given:

The volume of the rectangular box is 62.5{\text{ i}}{{\text{n}}^3}

Explanation:

Consider the base length of the square box as “x”.

Consider the height of the box as “y”.

The surface area of the open box can be expressed as follows,

\boxed{{\text{Surface Area}} = 4xy + {x^2}}

The volume of the box is 62.5{\text{ i}}{{\text{n}}^3}.

\begin{aligned}{\text{Volume}}&= {x^2}y\\\frac{{62.5}}{{{x^2}}}&= y\\\end{aligned}

The surface area of the box can be expressed as,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Surface area}}&= {x^2} + 4xy\\&= {x^2} + 4x \times \frac{{62.5}}{{{x^2}}}\\&= {x^2} + \frac{{250}}{x}\\\end{aligned}

Differentiate the surface area with respect to “x”.

\begin{aligned}\frac{d}{{dx}}\left({{\text{Surface area}}} \right)&=\frac{d}{{dx}}\left({{x^2} +\frac{{4394}}{x}} \right)\\&=2x - \frac{{250}}{{{x^2}}}\\\end{aligned}

Substitute 0 for \dfrac{d}{{dx}}\left( {{\text{Surface area}}}\right) in above equation to obtain the value of x.

\begin{aligned}\frac{d}{{dx}}\left({{\text{Surface area}}} \right)&= 0\\2x - \frac{{250}}{{{x^2}}}&= 0\\2x&=\frac{{250}}{{{x^2}}}\\x \times{x^2}&= \frac{{125}}{2}\\\end{aligned}

Further solve the above equation.

\begin{aligned}{x^3}&= \frac{{250}}{2}\\{x^3}&= 125\\x&= \sqrt[3]{{125}}\\x&= 5\\\end{aligned}

The side of the base is 5{\text{ in}}.

The height of the box can be obtained as follows,

\begin{aligned}y&= \frac{{62.5}}{{{x^2}}}\\&= \frac{{62.5}}{{{5^2}}}\\&=\frac{{62.5}}{{25}}\\&= 2.5\\\end{alligned}

The height of the box is y = 2.5{\text{ in}}.

The surface area of the box can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Surface area}}&={\left( 5 \right)^2} + 4\left( {5 \times 2.5} \right)\\&= 25 + 4\left( {12.5} \right)\\&= 25 + 50\\&= 75{\text{ i}}{{\text{n}}^2}\\\end{aligned}

The dimensions of minimize surface area are \boxed{5{\text{ in}}}{\text{ and }}\boxed{{\text{2}}{\text{.5 in}}} and the minimum surface area is \boxed{75{\text{ i}}{{\text{n}}^2}}.

Let the square base of the container be of side s inches and the height of the container be h inches, then
Surface are of the container, A = s^2 + 4sh
For minimum surface area, dA / ds + dA / dh = 0
i.e. 2s + 4h + 4s = 0
6s + 4h = 0
s = -2/3 h

But, volume of container = 62.5 in cubed
i.e. s^2 x h = 62.5
(-2/3 h)^2 x h = 62.5
4/9 h^2 x h = 62.5
4/9 h^3 = 62.5
h^3 = 62.5 x 9/4 = 140.625
h = cube root of (140.625) = 5.2 inches
s = 2/3 h = 3.47

Therefore, the dimensions of the square base of the container is 3.47 inches and the height is 5.2 inches.

The minimum surface area = s^2 + 4sh = (3.47)^2 + 4(3.47)(5.2) = 12.02 + 72.11 = 84.13 square inches.

A cube-shaped water tank having 6 ft side lengths is being filled with water. The bottom is solid metal but the sides of the tan
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

0.033 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let g = 32.2 ft/s2 and h be the maximum height that water can be filled before the sides shatter.

Pressure is distributed from 0 to maximum at the bottom like the following equation:

P = \rho gh

So the force generated by water pressure on the side of the tank is

F = PA = \rho ghs/2

where s = 6ft is the side length of the tank. This force cannot be larger than 200lb

\rho ghs/2 \leq 200

62.4*32.2*h*6/2 \leq 200

h \leq 0.033 ft

Determine the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of y=−1/3x+3 .
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

x intercept

y = 0 \\ 0 =  \frac{1}{3} x + 3 \\  \frac{1}{3} x =  - 3 \\ x =  - 9

y intercept

x = 0 \\ y =  \frac{1}{3}  \times 0 + 3 \\ y = 3

Two ratios by entering less than greater than or equal than 16 to 15, 30 to 80
Mumz [18]

Answer:

6:15>30:80

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio;

6:15 written in the form x/1 is equivalent to 2/5 or 0.4

30:80 written in the form x/1 is equal to 3/8 or 0.375

0.4 is greater than 0.375

Therefore;

<u>6:15>30:80</u>

Determine the slope of the lines parallel and perpendicular to -4x+3y=11
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

parallel = 4/3

perpendicular =-3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for y

-4x+3y=11

Add 4x to each side

3y = 4x+11

Divide by 3

y = 4/3 x +11/3

This is in the form y = mx+b where m is the slope

m =4/3

The parallel line has the same slope

parallel slope is 4/3

The perpendicular line has a negative reciprocal slope

m = -(1 /4/3) = - 3/4
