Answer:

The dimensions of the box are:

Length = 11.53cm

Breadth = 11.53cm

Height = 11.53cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the box can be calculated with this formula:

The volume of the box = area of square base X height of the box.

We are given that the length of one side of the square base is = x cm, and its height is h cm.

Area of square base = x^{2}cm^{2}

The surface area of the box will be minimized if the height of the box, is the same as its length. hence, we can take the height of the box to be x cm also.

In this case, the volume of the box will be x^{3}=1536cm^{3}

from this, x =3\sqrt{1536}= 11.53cm

There fore, the box has its length, height, and width all having the same values.

The dimensions of the box are:

Length = 11.53cm

Breadth = 11.53cm

Height = 11.53cm

When solving the linear equation, ax + b = 0 where a≠ 0, what is the answer of the equation x = -b/a referred as?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

In a system of equations ax + b = 0, a≠ 0, the equation x = -b/a is referred as a non-trivial solution.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

The system Ax + b = 0 has the following solutions:

  • The zeros, which is the trivial solution.
  • x = -b/a, which is the non-trivial solution.
