Answer:

1170450 yd^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing is to calculate the necessary perimeter, which would be like this:

2 * a + b = 3060

if we solve for b, we are left with:

b = 3060-2 * a

Now for the area it would be:

A = a * b = a * (3060-2 * a )

A = 3060 * a -2 * a ^ 2

To maximize the area, we calculate the derivative with respect to "a":

dA / da = d [3060 * a -2 * a ^ 2

]/gives

dA / day = 3060 - 4 * a

If we equal 0:

0 = 3060 - 4 * a

4 * a = 3060

a = 3060/4

a = 765 and d

Therefore b:

b = 3060 - 2 * a = 3060 - 1530 = 1530

A = a * b

A = 765 * 1530

A = 1170450 and d ^ 2

slava [35]
Tom-------------- >10 sq ft per minute

Tim------------------- >3.5*10=35 sq ft per minute

 Both painters (10+35)=45 sq ft per minute

 let's assume a cubic unit crate----------> V1=1*1*1=1 feet3

<span>the total surface of the cube is S1=6*(1*1)=6 </span>sq ft

 if the volume of the cube increases twice 

V2=2 feet3 ------------------- >    2=x*x*x------------- >x=2^(1/3)

And the S2=6*(2^(1/3)*<span> 2</span>^(1/3)=9.5244 sq ft

V2/V1=9.5244/6=1.5874

Therefore

If Tim and Tom----------------------- > take 1 day----------- > to paint a crate V1

For the crate V2------------- > take 1.5874 days 

assuming an 8-hour work day

 0.5874*8=4.70 hr-------------- > 4 h 42 min

 The answer is 1 day 4h 42 min
