Answer:

side of base, a = 10.1 inches, height, h = 40.1 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of rectangular solid, V = 4096 cubic inches

Let the side of base is a and the height is h.

V = a^2h\\\\4096 = a^2 h ..... (1)

surface area of the solid  

S = 2a^2 + 4 ah \\\\S = 2a^2 + 4 \times a \times \frac{4096}{a^2}    from (1)\\\S = 2a^2 + \frac{4096}{a}\\\\\frac{dS}{da}= 4 a - \frac{4096}{a^2}\\\\4 a - \frac{4096}{a^2} = 0 \\\\a^3 = 1024\\\\a =10.1 inches

So, h = 40.2 inches

Each week, Rosario drives to an ice skating rink that is 120 miles away. The round-trip takes 2.75 hours. If he averages 55 mile
ycow [4]
Distance = rate * time

trip there,  120 = 55 *t
                   t = 2 and 2/11 hours

trip back,  120 = r * (2.75 - 2.181818181)  round trip time - time to get there
                 120 = r * .568181818181818
                  r = 211.2 miles per hour

thinking maybe you did not copy the problem accurately...thats pretty fast.
