<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

Liam says - (5/12) is equivalent to 5/-12. Explain if Liam is correct by completing the statements below.
makkiz [27]

A positive number divided by a positive number results in a negative quotient, and it's opposite is always positive. The fraction 5/-12 can be described as a positive number divided by a negative number, which always results in a negative quotient. The fractions have different value, so Liam is not correct.

Old Shark Tank Length: 20 meters Width: 4 meters Helght: 10 meters Terrence knows that each shark needs 25 cubic meters of space
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

volume of old tank=20×4×10=800m³

no of shark adjust =800/25=32 sharks is adjusted in old shark tank

for new

if length=25℅0f 20+20=25m

breadth=25%of 4 +4=1+4=5m

height is same=10m

new volume =25×5×10=1250m³

total no.of shark adjust=1250/25=50 shark

50-32=18 more shark that the new tank hold.

mestny [16]
(7x-6)(8x+3)

Use the FOIL method

F:  7x • 8x = 56x^2
O: 7x • 3 = 21x
I: -6 • 8x = -48x
L: -6 • 3 = -18

56x^{2}+21x-48x-18

Simplify
56x^{2}-27x-18

Your answer is A.
