The largest possible volume of the given box is; 96.28 ft³
<h3>How to maximize volume of a box?</h3>
Let b be the length and the width of the base (length and width are the same since the base is square).
Let h be the height of the box.
The surface area of the box is;
S = b² + 4bh
We are given S = 100 ft². Thus;
b² + 4bh = 100
h = (100 - b²)/4b
Volume of the box in terms of b will be;
V(b) = b²h = b² * (100 - b²)/4b
V(b) = 25b - b³/4
The volume is maximum when dV/db = 0. Thus;
dV/db = 25 - 3b²/4
25 - 3b²/4 = 0
√(100/3) = b
b = 5.77 ft
Thus;
h = (100 - (√(100/3)²)/4(5.77)
h = 2.8885 ft
Thus;
Largest volume = [√(100/3)]² * 2.8885
Largest Volume = 96.28 ft³

Answer:
9ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the pythagorean theorem.
15^2 = 12^2 + x^2
solve for x
x^2 = 81
x = 9
Answer:
There are three primary methods used to find the perimeter of a right triangle.
1. When side lengths are given, add them together.
2. Solve for a missing side using the Pythagorean theorem.
3. If we know side-angle-side information, solve for the missing side using the Law of Cosines.

Answer: -2, 0, 4
Set the equation equal to zero.
x³ - 2x² - 8x = 0
Factor out x in the equation, since all the terms (x³, -2x², and -8x) are divisible by x. You can check your accuracy using the Distributive Property.
x(x² - 2x - 8) = 0
Factor out the polynomial. To do this, find two numbers that multiply to get the last term, -8, and add together to get the middle term, -2. In this case, those two numbers are -4 and 2 (-4 × 2 = -8 and -4 + 2 = -2). Don't forget about the x that was factored out before!
x(x - 4)(x + 2) = 0
Set each factor equal to zero and solve for x. The factors in the equation are x, (x - 4), and (x + 2).
x = 4
x = -2
The zeros of the polynomial function are -2, 0, and 4.
