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

Answer:

Ramiro is correct.

You cannot identify congruent triangles with only angles Angle-Angle-Angle is not one of the rules of congruence. They could have different sizes with the same angles which doesn't makes them congruent. They are similar though. Once you find the missing angles with the equations 62+39+C=180 and 39+79+X=180 the corresponding angles are congruent. So the triangles are not congruent, but are similar.
