<h3>The dimensions of the given rectangular box are:</h3><h3>L  =   15.874 cm  , B  =  15.874 cm   , H = 7.8937 cm</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the dimension of the square base = S x S

Let us assume the height of the rectangular base = H

So, the total area of the open rectangular box  

= Area of the base +  4 x ( Area of the adjacent faces)

=  S x S  +  4 ( S x H)   = S² +  4 SH   ..... (1)

Also, Area of the box  = S x S x H  =  S²H

⇒ S²H = 2000

\implies H = \frac{2000}{S^2}

Substituting the value of H in (1), we get:

A = S^2 + 4 SH =  S^2 + 4 S(\frac{2000}{S^2}) =  S^2 + (\frac{8000}{S})\\\implies A  =  S^2 + (\frac{8000}{S})

Now, to minimize the area put :

(\frac{dA}{dS} ) = 0 \implies 2S  - \frac{8000}{S^2}  = 0\\\implies S^3 = 4000\\\implies S  = 15.874 \approx 16 cm

Putting the value of S  = 15.874 cm in the value of H , we get:

\implies H = \frac{2000}{S^2}  =  \frac{2000}{(15.874)^2} = 7.8937 cm

Hence, the dimensions of the given rectangular box are:

L  =   15.874 cm

B  = 15.874 cm

H = 7.8937 cm

Which ratio is greater, 4:5 or 3:4?
Grace [21]
4:5
explanation-

Express the given ratios as fraction

4 : 5 = 4/5 and 2 : 3 =2/3

Now find the L.C.M (least common multiple) of 5 and 3

The L.C.M (least common multiple) of 5 and 3 is 15.

Making the denominator of each fraction equal to 15, we have

4/5 = (4 ×3)/(5 ×3) = 12/15 and 2/3 = (2 ×5)/(3 ×5) = 10/15

Clearly, 12 > 10

Now, 12/15 > 10/15

Therefore, 4 : 5 > 2 : 3.
