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

Answer:

  1536 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

In units of 5 feet, the backdrop is 3 units wide and 2 units high, for a total area of 3×2 = 6 square units.

Those same units on the scale drawing are each 16 inches. One square unit on the scale drawing is (16 in)² = 256 in². So, 6 of them have an area of ...

  6 × 256 in² = 1536 in²

Chantelle has 23 cookies. She gives 3 3/6 to her friend Emily how many does she have now
malfutka [58]
3 3/6 is the same as 3 1/2, so 23 take 3 is 20. 20 take 1/2 is 19 1/2.
