Lisa's favorite chocolate candies are wrapped in the shape of a triangular prism with shiny gold paper as shown below. If all si

des of the package are covered in the gold paper, what is the surface area of the amount that is wrapped?

Answer:

Surface Area = 150


Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of this triangular prism is the sum of area of all the sides.

Surface Area = triangle 1 (with base 8 and height 3) + triangle 2 (same as triangle 1) + lateral surface 1 (with length 7 and width 5 (calculation shown below)) + lateral surface 2 (same as lateral surface 1) + bottom (side not shown with length 7 and width 8)

  • Triangle 1 area: \frac{1}{2}bh=\frac{1}{2}(8)(3)=12
  • Triangle 2 area: \frac{1}{2}bh=\frac{1}{2}(8)(3)=12
  • Lateral surface 1 (rectangle): l*w=(7)(5)=35
  • Lateral surface 2 (rectangle): l*w=(7)(5)=35
  • Bottom surface (rectangle): l*w=(7)(8)=56

Summing all these gives us the total surface area.


Total surface area = 12+12+35+35+56=150


**** <em>The triangle shown is divided into half by the perpendicular line (3cm) to the base. So the base is divided in half (4 cm and 4 cm).</em>

<em>Now, we have a right triangle with one leg 4 cm and another leg 3 cm. How do we get the hypotenuse? We use </em><em>Pythagorean Theorem</em><em>. Which is:</em>

<em>leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2\\3^2+4^2=hypotenuse^2\\25=hypotenuse^2\\hypotenuse=5</em>

<em>Hence, the side length of the hypotenuse is 5 [used above in the calculation]</em>

An open box is to be made from a 3 ft by 8 ft rectangular piece of sheet metal by cutting out squares of equal size from the fou
Burka [1]

Answer:

Maximum volume of the box will be 7.41 cubic feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Open box has been made from a metal sheet measuring 3 ft and 8 ft.

Let four square pieces were removed from the four corners with one side measurement x ft.

Volume of the open box = Length × width × height

Length of the box = (3 - 2x) ft

Width of the box = (8 - 2x) ft

Height of the box = x ft

Volume of the box = (3 - 2x)(8 - 2x)x

V = (24 - 6x - 16x + 4x²)x

V = 24x - 22x² + 4x³

Now we take the derivative of V with respect to x and equate the derivative to zero,

\frac{d}{dx}(V)=\frac{d}{dx}(24x - 22x^{2}+4x^{3})

V' = 24 - 44x + 12x²

V' = 0

12x² - 44x + 24 = 0

3x² - 11x + 6 = 0

3x² - 9x - 2x + 6 = 0

3x(x - 3) - 2(x - 3) = 0

(3x - 2)(x - 3) = 0

(3x - 2) = 0

and (x - 3) = 0

Therefore, x = 3, \frac{2}{3}

For x = 0.67

Length of the box = (3 - 2x) = 3 - 1.34

                              = 1.66 ft

Width of the box = (8 - 2x) = 8 - 1.34

                            = 6.66 ft

Volume of the box = 0.67 × 1.66 × 6.66

V = 7.41 cubic feet.

Similarly, for x = 3,

Length of the box = (3 - 2\times 3) = -3

which is negative but the length of the box can not be negative.

Therefore, maximum volume of the box will be 7.41 cubic feet.
