The function you seek to minimize is
()=3‾√4(3)2+(13−4)2

Then
′()=3‾√18−13−8=(3‾√18+18)−138

Note that ″()>0

so that the critical point at ′()=0
f

will be a minimum. The critical point is at
=1179+43‾√≈7.345m
x

So that the amount used for the square will be 13−

, or
13−=524+33‾√≈5.655m
1kg = 2.205 lbs
Therefore, 1 lb = 1/2.205 kg
Or 5.4lb = 5.4/2.205
= 2.44 kgs
Thus, this package will weigh 2.44 kgs
They are similar. Set the proportions equal to each other
(x + 8)/8 = (x+14)/12
Cross multiply
(x + 8)/8 (8)(12) = (x + 14)/12 (12)(8)
12(x + 8) = 8(x + 14)
Distribute the 12 and 8 to the corresponding monomials inside the parenthesis
12(x + 8) = 12x + 96
8(x + 14) = 8x + 112
12x + 96 = 8x + 112
Isolate the x. Subtract 8x from both sides and 96 from both sides
12x (-8x) + 96 (-96) = 8x (-8x) + 112 (-96)
12x - 8x = 112 - 96
4x = 16
Isolate the equal sign. Divide 4 from both sides
4x/4 = 16/4
x = 16/4
x = 4
