Answer:
- ength (l) : (10-2*5/3) = 20/3
- width(w): (10 - 2*5/3) = 20/3
- height(h): 5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x is the side of identical squares
By cutting out identical squares from each corner and bending up the resulting flaps, the dimension are:
- length (l) : (10-2x)
- width(w): (10-2x)
- height(h): x
The volume will be:
V = (10-2x) (10-2x) x
<=> V = (10x-2) (10-2x)
<=> V = 100x -20 - 20
+ 4
<=> V = 4 - 40
+ 100x
To determine the dimensions of the largest box that can be made, we need to use the derivative and and set it to zero for the maximum volume
dV/dx = 12 -80x + 100
<=> 12 -80x + 100 =0
<=> x = 5 or x= 5/3
You know 'x' cannot be 5 , because if we cut 5 inch squares out of the original square, the length and the width will be 0. So we take x = 5/3
=>
- length (l) : (10-2*5/3) = 20/3
- width(w): (10 - 2*5/3) = 20/3
- height(h): 5/3
Answer:
A farmer has enough food to feed 20 animals in his cattle for 6 days. How long would the food last if there were 10 more animals in his cattle? Here the number of animals and the number of days are in inverse proportion. Hence the food will last 4 days.
