A container in the shape of a square-based prism has a volume of 2744 cm'. What dimensions give the

Mathematics

Answer:

The dimensions that give the minimum surface area are:

Length = 14cm

width = 14cm

height = 14cm

And the minimum surface is:

S = 1,176 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular rectangular prism has the measures: length L, width W and height H.

The volume of this prism is:

V = L*W*H

The surface of this prism is:

S = 2*(L*W + H*L + H*W)

If the base of the prism is a square, then we have L = W

Then the equations become:

V = L*L*H = L^2*H

S = 2*(L^2 + 2*H*L)

We know that the volume of the figure is 2744 cm^3

Then:

V = 2744 cm^3 = H*(L^2)

In this equation, we can isolate H.

H = (2744 cm^3)/(L^2)

Now we can replace this on the surface equation:

S = 2*(L^2 + 2*L* (2744 cm^3)/(L^2))

S = 2*L^2 + 4(2744 cm^3)/L

Now we want to minimize the surface area, then we need to find the zeros of the first derivative of S.

S' = 2*(2*L) - 4*(2744 cm^3)/L^2

This is equal to zero when:

0 = 2*(2*L) - 4*(2744 cm^3)/L^2

0 = 4*L*L^2 - 4*(2744 cm^3)

4*(2744 cm^3) = 4*L^3

2744 cm^3 = L^3

∛(2744 cm^3) = L = 14cm

Then the length of the base that minimizes the surface is L = 14.

Then we have:

H = (2744 cm^3)/(L^2) = (2744 cm^3)/(14cm)^2 = 14cm

Then the surface is:

S = 2*(L^2 + 2*L*H) = 2*( (14cm)^2 + 2*(14cm)*(14cm)) = 1,176 cm^2

F(x) = 2x + 5
Finger [1]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  15. f(x) +g(x) = 7x +2

  16. f(x) -g(x) = -3x +8

  17. h(x) · g(x) = 35x -21

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the function definition for each function expression and simplify.

__

15. f(x) + g(x) = (2x +5) +(5x -3)

  f(x) +g(x) = 7x +2

__

16. f(x) - g(x) = (2x +5) -(5x -3)

  f(x) -g(x) = -3x +8

__

17. h(x) · g(x) = (7) · (5x -3)

  h(x) · g(x) = 35x -21

HELP!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!WILL MARK AS BRAINLIEST
Goshia [24]

<t =33 since triangle  RUT is isosceles  (RU = TU)

<r + <u + <t = 180  triangle = 180

33 + <u + 33 = 180

66 + <u = 180

< u =114

<rus = < sut  from the diagram

<rus + <sut = <u

x + x = 114

2x = 114

divide by 2

x = 57
