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

The volume of an oblique pyramid with a square base is V units3 and the height is h units.Which expression represents the area o
melamori03 [73]

Answer: a) \dfrac{3V}{h}\ units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the volume of an oblique pyramid is given by :-

\text{Volume}=\dfrac{1}{3}\text{(Base Area x height) }

If the volume of an oblique pyramid with a square base is V units³ and the height is h units.

Then, we have

V=\dfrac{1}{3}\text{(Base Area x h) }

Multiply 3 on both sides , we get

3V=\text{(Base Area x h) }

Divide both sides by h , we get

\dfrac{3V}{h}=\text{Base Area }

i.e. \text{Base Area }=\dfrac{3V}{h}\ units^2

Hence, the expression represents the area of the base of the pyramid = \dfrac{3V}{h}\ units^2

Hence, the correct answer is a) 3 v/h units^2
