Answer:

We would have

                                    l =w =\frac{8\sqrt{3}}{3} \\h = \frac{8\sqrt{3}}{6}

where " l " is  length, " w"  is width and "h" is height.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Remember that

         Surface area for a box with no top = lw+2lh+2wh = 64

where " l " is  length, " w"  is width and "h" is height.

 Step 2.

Remember as well that

                              Volume of the box = l*w*h

Step 3

 We can now use lagrange multipliers.  Lets say,

                                    F(l,w,h) = lwh

and

                                g(l,w,h) = lw+2lh+2wh = 64

By the lagrange multipliers method we know that                            

 

                                                     \nabla F  = \lambda \nabla g

Step 4

Remember that

                          \nabla F  = (wh,lh,lw)

and

                      \nabla g = (w+2h,l+2h , 2w+2l)

So basically you will have the system of equations

                              wh = \lambda (w+2h)\\lh = \lambda (l+2h)\\lw = \lambda (2w+2l)

Now, remember that you can multiply the first eqation, by "l" the second equation by "w" and the third one by "h" and you would get

                                   lwh = l\lambda (w+2h)\\\\lwh = w\lambda (l+2h)\\\\lwh = h\lambda (2w+2l)

Then you would get

                      l\lambda (w+2h) = w\lambda (l+2h) =  h\lambda (2w+2l)

You can get rid of \lambda from these equations and you would get

                         lw+2lh = lw+2wh =  2wh+2lh

And from those equations you would get

                                             l = w =2h

Now remember the original equation

                                    lw+2lh+2wh = 64

If we plug in what we just got, we would have

                                 l^{2} + l^{2} + l^2   =  64 \\3l^{2} = 64 \\l = w = \frac{8\sqrt{3} }{3} \\h = \frac{8\sqrt{3} }{6}

I need help with 25.
noname [10]

Sum of linear pair of angles = 180°

so

<EFG + <GFH = 180°

2n + 21 + 4n + 15 = 180°

6n + 36 = 180°

6n = 144

n = 24

<EFG = 2(24) + 21 = 69°

<GFH = 4n + 15 = 4(24) + 15 = 111°

Simplify the expression. ​
deff fn [24]

(6^-2)^2

When you have a number raised to a power inside parenthesis and then it is raised to another power, to simplify, multiply the two powers together:

-2 x 2 = -4

Simplified is 6^-4

which one of the following examples represents a repeating decimal A. 1.111114 B. 0.777777 C. 4.252525 D. 0.123123
elena-s [515]
Actually, i think something is missing here:

You need either a parenthesis or some dots at the end to determine this. A repeating decimal can have one repreating digit:

0.(7): 0.777777...

two:

0.(45): 0.45454545454545....

or more: so potentially all of them can be repeating, even a!

it could be: 1.(111114)

or: 1.111114111114111114111114111114111114111114111114111114111114111114111114111114...

proably B. is the most typical of repeating decimals (choosed this one if you have to), but in reality, you need more information... did you copy the question exactly?
