Answer:

The dimensions of the box is 3 ft by 3 ft by 30.22 ft.

The length of one side of the base of the given box  is 3 ft.

The height of the box is 30.22 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, a rectangular box with volume of 272 cubic ft.

Assume height of the box be h and the length of one side of the square base of the box is x.

Area of the base is = (x\times x)

                               =x^2

The volume of the box  is = area of the base × height

                                           =x^2h

Therefore,

x^2h=272

\Rightarrow h=\frac{272}{x^2}

The cost per square foot for bottom is 20 cent.

The cost to construct of the bottom of the box is

=area of the bottom ×20

=20x^2 cents

The cost per square foot for top is 10 cent.

The cost to construct of the top of the box is

=area of the top ×10

=10x^2 cents

The cost per square foot for side is 1.5 cent.

The cost to construct of the sides of the box is

=area of the side ×1.5

=4xh\times 1.5 cents

=6xh cents

Total cost = (20x^2+10x^2+6xh)

                =30x^2+6xh

Let

C=30x^2+6xh

Putting the value of h

C=30x^2+6x\times \frac{272}{x^2}

\Rightarrow C=30x^2+\frac{1632}{x}

Differentiating with respect to x

C'=60x-\frac{1632}{x^2}

Again differentiating with respect to x

C''=60+\frac{3264}{x^3}

Now set C'=0

60x-\frac{1632}{x^2}=0

\Rightarrow 60x=\frac{1632}{x^2}

\Rightarrow x^3=\frac{1632}{60}

\Rightarrow x\approx 3

Now C''|_{x=3}=60+\frac{3264}{3^3}>0

Since at x=3 , C''>0. So at x=3, C has a minimum value.

The length of one side of the base of the box is 3 ft.

The height of the box is =\frac{272}{3^2}

                                          =30.22 ft.

The dimensions of the box is 3 ft by 3 ft by 30.22 ft.

Angle C is an inscribed angle of circle P. Angle C measures (-3x - 6)° and arc AB measures (-4x)° . Find x
Fynjy0 [20]
To find angle c, the fourmula is 1/2 of the intercepted arc. so, this would be (-3x-6)=(-4x)/2, then bring the 2 over, (-3x-6)2=-4x, multiply the 2, -6x-12=-4x, -2x=12, simplify, x=-6

check by plugging in.
