Answer:
The dimension of the open rectangular box is .
The volume of the box is 8.217 cubic inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The open rectangular box of maximum volume that can be made from a sheet of cardboard 11 in. by 7 in. by cutting congruent squares from the corners and folding up the sides.
To find : The dimensions and the volume of the open rectangular box ?
Solution :
Let the height be 'x'.
The length of the box is '11-2x'.
The breadth of the box is '7-2x'.
The volume of the box is
Derivate w.r.t x,
The critical point when V'(x)=0
Solve by quadratic formula,
Derivate again w.r.t x,
Now, (+ve)
(-ve)
So, there is maximum at x=1.392.
The length of the box is
The breadth of the box is
The height of the box is h=1.392.
The dimension of the open rectangular box is .
The volume of the box is

Answer:
My sister will swing the total distance = 40 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
On the first swing my sister travels a distance of 8 feet.
In every successive swing she travels 80% of the distance of the previous distance.
So the sequence formed by the distance traveled in every swing will be a geometric sequence.
First term of the sequence 'a' = 8 feet
common ratio 'r' = 0.80
Since this sequence is an infinite geometric sequence,
Sum of this sequence = [Since r < 1]
=
=
= 40 feet
Therefore, my sister will cover the total distance = 40 feet
