Answer:

The length = The width = The height  ≈ 5.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular pyramid, V = l × w × h

The surface area of the pyramid = 2 × l × h + 2 × w × h + 2 × l × w = 200

∴  l × h + w × h + l × w = 200/2 = 100

We have that the maximum volume is given when the length, width, and height are equal and one length is not a fraction of the other. Therefore, we get;

At maximum volume, l = w = h

∴ l × h + w × h + l × w = 3·l² = 100

l² = 100/3

l = 10/√3

Therefore, the volume, v = l³ = (10/√3)³

The length = The width = The height = 10/√3 cm ≈ 5.8 cm

Find the equation of the plane that goes through three points:
frosja888 [35]

The equation of the plane that goes through these points is:

6x + 2y + z = 10.

<h3>How to find the equation of a plane given three points?</h3>

The equation of the plane is found replacing the points into the following equation:

ax + by + c = z.

For point A, we have that:

3b + c = 4.

For point B, we have that:

a + 2b + c = 0.

For point C, we have that:

-a + 6b + c = 4.

Hence the system is:

  • 3b + c = 4.
  • a + 2b + c = 0.
  • -a + 6b + c = 4.

From the first equation, we have that:

c = 4 - 3b.

Replacing in the second, we have that:

a + 2b + 4 - 3b = 0

a - b = -4.

Replacing in the third, we have that:

-a + 6b + 4 - 3b = 4.

-a + 3b = 0.

a = 3b.

We have that a - b = -4, hence:

3b - b = -4

2b = -4

b = -2.

a = 3b, hence a = -6.

c = 4 - 3b -> c = 10.

Hence the equation is:

ax + by + c = z.

z = -6x - 2y + 10

6x + 2y + z = 10.
