If x represents the length of the box, then 42-x will be the girth. Since the largest area for a given girth is that of a square, the side length of the square cross section is (42 -x)/4.
The volume as a function of package length is then
.. v(x) = x((42-x)/4)^2
This has a maximum at x=14. The corresponding volume is 686 in^3.
Answer:
42
Step-by-step explanation:
(3.5 × 100) × 1100 = 350100.
Write in percentage notation: 350%
"of" means to multiply. Let the unknown number be x.
59.5x = 2.38
Dividing both sides by 59.5,
x = 2.38/59.5
x = 0.04 or 4/100 = 2/50 = 1/25
