Possible dimension of a box with a volume of 100 cubic cm
10 x 10 x 1 = 100
10 x 5 x 2 = 100
5 x 5 x 4 = 100

Surface area:
10 x 10 x 1 dimensions: 
10 x 10 = 100 x 2 = 200 sq.cm
10 x 1 = 10 x 4 = 40 sq. cm
240 sq. cm * $0.05 / 100 sq.cm = $0.12 per box
0.12 per box * 100 boxes = $12

10 x 5 x 2 dimension
10 x 5 = 50 x 2 = 100 sq. cm
10 x 2 = 20 x 2 = 40 sq. cm
5 x 2 = 10 x 2 = 20 sq. cm
160 sq. cm * $0.05/100 sq. cm = $0. 08 per box
0.08 per box * 100 boxes = $8

5 x 5 x 4 dimension
5 x 5 = 25 x 2 = 50 sq. cm
5 x 4 = 20 x 4 = 80 sq. cm
130 sq. cm * $0.05/100 sq. cm = $0.065 per box
0.065 per box * 100 boxes = $6.50

The best dimension to use to have the least cost to make 100 boxes is 5 x 5 x 4. It only costs $6.50 to make 100 boxes.

7. a hockey arena has 10 920 seats. the first row of seats around the rink has 220 seats. the number of seats in each subsequent
Mazyrski [523]

The number of rows in the arena is 26

<h3>How to determine the number of rows?</h3>

The hockey arena illustrates an arithmetic sequence, and it has the following parameters:

  • First term, a = 220
  • Sum of terms, Sn = 10920
  • Common difference, d = 16

The number of rows (i.e. the number of terms) is calculated using:

S_n = \frac{n}{2}(2a + (n -1) * d)

So,we have:

10920 = \frac{n}{2}(2 * 220 + (n -1) * 16)

Evaluate the terms and factors

21840 = n(440 + 16n -16)

Evaluate the like terms

21840 = n(424+ 16n)

Expand

21840 = 424n + 16n^2

Rewrite as:

16n^2 + 424n - 21840 = 0

Using a graphical tool, we have:

n = 26

Hence, the number of rows in the arena is 26
