A circular cylindrical container, open at the top, and having a capacity of 24pi cubic inches, is to be manufactured. If the cos

t of the material used for the bottom of the container is three times that used for the curved part and if there is no waste of material, find the dimensions which will minimize the cost

Answer: radius r = 2 inches

height h = 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Volume V = 24πin3

Volume of a cylinder is given by

V = πr^2h

h = V/πr^2. ....1

Where, h = height and r = radius of cylinder

For the surface area of the cylinder with open top. we have,

S = 2πrh + πr^2

For the cost of materials used, let k represent the cost of materials used for the body of the cylinder.

Then, for the bottom will be 3k

Total cost will be represented by C, which gives

C = 2πrhk + 3πr^2k. .....2

Substituting eqn 1 to 2, we have;

C = 2πrVk/πr^2 + 3πr^2k

C = 2Vk/r + 3πr^2k

The material cost is minimum at dC/dr = 0

dC/dr = -2Vk/r^2 + 6πrk =0

6πrk = 2Vk/r^2

r^3 = 2V/6π

r = (2×24π/6π)^-3

r = (8)^-3

r = 2

Substituting r = 2 into eqn1

h = 24π/π(2^2)

h = 24/4 = 6

h = 6

What is 6.78 and 8.21 rounded to tenth nearest tenth
yaroslaw [1]
Here is your answer:

6.78 rounded to the nearest tenth = 7.00 because the 7 in 6.78 is greater then five.

8.21 rounded to the nearest tenth= 8.00 because the 2 in 8.21 is NOT greater than five.

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

slope of the line is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

given points are:

(-3 , 2)=(x1 , y1)

(4 , 2)=(x2 , y2)

slope =y2 - y1/x2 - x1

=2-2/4-(-3)

=0/4+3

=0/7

=0

The shortest distance from a point to a straight line is
Dahasolnce [82]

The shortest distance from a point to a straight line is the measurement of the line segment which connects the point to the straight line. This line segment should be perpendicular to the line and is thus called the perpendicular distance.

Jefferson Park sits on one square city block that measures 300ft on each side. Sidewalks join opposite corners. About how long i
Alexxandr [17]
You have a 300 feet side length square and you need to calculate the length of the diagonal. When you split the square along one diagonal you get triangles, so you can apply Pythagoras' Theorem, with the hypotenuse as the needed diagonal.
a²+b²=c²
300²+300²=c²
2*300²=c²
√(2*300²)=c
√(2) * √(300²)=c
√(2) * 300=c
c~424.26 ft which is the solution/option c
