Answer:
in
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the side of square.
Length of box=8-2x
Width of box=15-2x
Height of box=x
Volume of box=
Substitute the values then we get
Volume of box=V(x)=


Differentiate w.r.t x









Again differentiate w.r.t x

Substitute x=6

Substitute x=5/3

Hence, the volume is maximum at x=
Therefore, the side of the square ,
in cutout that gives the box the largest possible volume.
The barrel holds 13.20 liters
60% more than regular size. 230.4.
Let the population of Elmore be "X".
Since that the population of Linton is 12 times as great as the population of Elmore, then it is considered to be "12x".
Since that the sum of both Elmore and Linton is 9.646, then "X + 12x = 9464" x+12x is 13x , so it should be "13x = 9464". Now, it is easy to find the population of Elmore which is 9464 / 13 = 742. Since that the population of Linton is 12 times the population of Elmore, then the population of Linton is "742 * 12 = 8904".
