Let us consider the number of edges = x
we know that a triangle will have 3 edges and a square will have 4 edges. Using this details we can form an equation.
3x + 4x = 8484
7x = 8484
x = 8484/7
= 1212
Then
Number of square tiles = 1212/4
= 303
So there are 303 square tiles in the box. I hope the procedure is clear enough for your understanding. You can always use this method for solving similar problems.
Answer:
I need to know the dimensions to solve
Step-by-step explanation:
4x^2-9
=(2x)^2 -3^2
=(2x+3) (2x-3)
Hope this helps you.
Alrighty
squaer base so length=width, nice
v=lwh
but in this case, l=w, so replace l with w
V=w²h
and volume is 32000
32000=w²h
the amount of materials is the surface area
note that there is no top
so
SA=LW+2H(L+W)
L=W so
SA=W²+2H(2W)
SA=W²+4HW
alrighty
we gots
SA=W²+4HW and
32000=W²H
we want to minimize the square foottage
get rid of one of the variables
32000=W²H
solve for H
32000/W²=H
subsitute
SA=W²+4WH
SA=W²+4W(32000/W²)
SA=W²+128000/W
take derivitive to find the minimum
dSA/dW=2W-128000/W²
where does it equal 0?
0=2W-1280000/W²
128000/W²=2W
128000=2W³
64000=W³
40=W
so sub back
32000/W²=H
32000/(40)²=H
32000/(1600)=H
20=H
the box is 20cm height and the width and length are 40cm
