Answer:
Dimensions:
Perimiter:
Minimum perimeter: [16,16]
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a problem of optimization with constraints.
We can define the rectangle with two sides of size "a" and two sides of size "b".
The area of the rectangle can be defined then as:
This is the constraint.
To simplify and as we have only one constraint and two variables, we can express a in function of b as:
The function we want to optimize is the diameter.
We can express the diameter as:
To optimize we can derive the function and equal to zero.
The minimum perimiter happens when both sides are of size 16 (a square).
Number of pallets moved in 4.5 hours = 108
converting 4.5 hours in minutes we get,
4*60 + 0.5*60 = 240+30 = 270 minutes
So, 108 pallets were moved in = 270 minutes
1 pallet was moved in = minutes
As the tie will get over in 2 hours or 2*60 = 120 minutes, the number of pallets that can be moved will be = pallets.
Hence, 48 pallets can be moved before quitting time.
