Holly made 12 pair of earrings for each of her girlfriends. To wrap the pairs individually, she creates a simple cardboard gift

box to fold into a pyramid. The base is a square with side lengths 10c m. The sides are 4 equilateral triangles with side lengths 10 cm and height h. The height h is approximately 8 2/3 cm. In square centimeters, what is the minimum amount of cardboard Holly needs to create 12 gift boxes to wrap each pair of earrings individually?

Answer:

3280cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told the gift box is folded into a Pyramid with a square base.

Hence, we are to find the Surface Area of a square pyramid

From the question, we are given:

Length of the base of the square = 10cm

Triangle

Side length = 10cm

Height = 8 2/3 cm

A square Pyramid has 5 faces: 4 triangles and 1 square.

Step 1

Find the Area of the square

Formula = Side length² this is because all the side of a square is equal.

Length of the base = 10cm

Area of the square = (10cm)²

= 100cm²

Step 2

Find the Area of the triangle. We are told the 4 triangles are equilateral, which means their side are equal.

Hence, for one triangle.

Area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × height

Base = side length = 10cm

Height = 8 2/3 = 8.6666666667cm

Area of a triangle = 1/2 × 10 × 8.6666666667

Area of a triangle = 43.333333333cm²

Since we have 4 triangles

We would have : 4 × 43.333333333cm²

= 173.33333333cm²

The Area of the 4 equilateral triangles =

173.33333333cm²

Step 3

The Surface area of the Square Pyramid

= Sum of the areas of all the faces.

= 100cm² + 173.33333333cm²

= 273.33333333cm²

Therefore, the minimum amount of cardboard needed to make one gift box = 273.33333333cm²

Step 4

The minimum amount of cardboard Holly needs to create 12 gift boxes to wrap each pair of earrings individually is calculated as: 12 × 273.33333333cm²

= 3280cm²

La barbería El Caleño, tiene en promedio 120 clientes a la semana a
Luba_88 [7]

Queremos maximizar el precio de tal forma que los ingresos no disminuyan.

Ese maximo precio es: $14,040.6

Sabemos que actualmente el precio es:

p = $6,000

El número de clientes es:

C = 120

Actualmente los ingresos son el producto de esos dos números, es decir:

ingresos = $6,000*120 = $720,000

Ahora sabemos que por cada incremento de $700 en el precio, el número de clientes decrece en 10.

Entonces podemos escribir el número de clientes como una ecuación lineal.

C(p) = a*p + b

tal que tenemos dos puntos en esa linea:

($6,000, 120)

($6,700, 110)

La pendiente es:

a = \frac{110 - 120}{\$6,700 - \$6,000} = \frac{-10}{\$ 700}

Entonces tenemos:

C(p) = (-10/$700)*p + b

Sabemos que:

C($6,000) = 120 = (-10/$700)*$6,000 + b

                     120 = -85.71 + b

                     120 + 85.71 = b =

Entonces la ecuación lineal es:

C(p) = (-10/$700)*p + 205.71

Los ingresos serán dados por:

ingresos = C(p)*p = (-10/$700)*p^2 + 205.71*p

Y queremos maximizar p de tal forma que esto sea igual a lo que obtuvimos antes:

(-10/$700)*p^2 + 205.71*p = $720,000

Entonces debemos resolver la ecuación cuadratica:

(-10/$700)*p^2 + 205.71*p - $720,000 = 0.

Las soluciones son dadas por la formula de Bhaskara.

p = \frac{-205.71 \pm \sqrt{(205.71)^2 - 4*(-10/\$ 700)*\$ 720,000} }{2*(-10/\$ 700)} \\\\p = \frac{-205.71 \pm 195.45}{(-20/\$ 700)}

La solución de maximo valor es:

p = (-205.71 - 195.45)/(-20/$700) = $14,040.6
