Step-by-step explanation:
The attached photo shows the diagram of quadrilateral QRST with more illustrations.
Line RT divides the quadrilateral into 2 congruent triangles QRT and SRT. The sum of the angles in each triangle is 180 degrees(98 + 50 + 32)
The area of the quadrilateral = 2 × area of triangle QRT = 2 × area of triangle SRT
Using sine rule,
q/SinQ = t/SinT = r/SinR
24/sin98 = QT/sin50
QT = r = sin50 × 24.24 = 18.57
Also
24/sin98 = QR/sin32
QR = t = sin32 × 24.24 = 12.84
Let us find area of triangle QRT
Area of a triangle
= 1/2 abSinC = 1/2 rtSinQ
Area of triangle QRT
= 1/2 × 18.57 × 12.84Sin98
= 118.06
Therefore, area of quadrilateral QRST = 2 × 118.06 = 236.12
The goal is to get the volume as large as possible while the surface area is made as small as possible. Why? Because the volume is the amount of stuff you can hold and the surface area is the amount of material to make the container.
Consider an example of making a cup. The inside portion is the amount the cup can hold. The more liquid, the better. The cup makers want to use as little material as possible so that they reduce costs. If the cup makers produce a cup that has volume of 10 cubic inches and uses 10 square inches of material, then the surface area to volume ratio is 10:10 which reduces to 1:1. A more efficient cup is made if that same volume (10 cubic inches) can be made for less material say 5 square inches to make the ratio now 5:10 which reduces to 1:2.
So in summary, reducing the surface area to volume ratio will make more sense economically as the company makes more money while reducing costs (therefore increasing overall profit)
