Find the dimensions of the open rectangular box of maximum volume that can be made from a sheet of cardboard 11 in. by 7 in. by

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

The dimension of the open rectangular box is $8.216\times 4.216\times 1.392$ .

The volume of the box is 8.217 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The open rectangular box of maximum volume that can be made from a sheet of cardboard 11 in. by 7 in. by cutting congruent squares from the corners and folding up the sides.

To find : The dimensions and the volume of the open rectangular box ?

Solution :

Let the height be 'x'.

The length of the box is '11-2x'.

The breadth of the box is '7-2x'.

The volume of the box is $V=l\times b\times h$

$V=(11-2x)\times (7-2x)\times x$

$V=4x^3-36x^2+77x$

Derivate w.r.t x,

$V'(x)=4(3x^2)-2(36x)+77$

$V'(x)=12x^2-72x+77$

The critical point when V'(x)=0

$12x^2-72x+77=0$

Solve by quadratic formula,

$x=\frac{18+\sqrt{93}}{6},\frac{18-\sqrt{93}}{6}$

$x=4.607,1.392$

Derivate again w.r.t x,

$V''(x)=24x-72$

Now, $V''(4.607)=24(4.607)-72=38.568>0$ (+ve)

$V''(1.392)=24(1.392)-72=-38.592$ (-ve)

So, there is maximum at x=1.392.

The length of the box is $l=11-2x$

$l=11-2(1.392)=8.216$

The breadth of the box is $b=7-2x$

$b=7-2(1.392)=4.216$

The height of the box is h=1.392.

The dimension of the open rectangular box is $8.216\times 4.216\times 1.392$ .

The volume of the box is $V=l\times b\times h$

$V=8.216\times 4.216\times 1.392$

$V=48.217\ in.^3$

The volume of the box is 8.217 cubic inches.

Miles earns a 6% commission on each vehicle

slamgirl [31]

The total amount of his commission for these vehicles is $ 1686

Solution:

Given that,

Miles earns a 6% commission on each vehicle he sells

Therefore,

Commission rate = 6 %

Today he sold a truck for $18,500 and a car for $9,600

Therefore,

Commission amount = 6 % of (18500 + 9600)

Commission amount = 6 % of 28100

Calculate the above equation

$Commission\ amount = 6 \% \times 28100\\\\Commission\ amount = \frac{6}{100} \times 28100\\\\Commission\ amount = 6 \times 281 = 1686$

Thus the total amount of his commission for these vehicles is $ 1686

What is the LCD of 1/2 and 3/5

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

How you find LCD (lowest common denominator) is that you have to look at the denominator (the bottom number) and try to find the lowest multiple between both of the numbers that is on the bottom (in this case it is 2 and 5). Sometimes you have to multiply both denominators together to get a LCD.

Example of multiplying two denominators together to get an LCD:

1/3 and 1/13 LCD is 39 because you multiply 3 and 13.

1/5 and 1/4 LCD is 20 because you multiply 5 and 4.
