Let
x------> the length side of the square base of the box
y-------> the height of the box
we know that
volume of the box=b²*h
b=x
h=y
volume=256 cm³
so
256=x²*y------>y=256/x²--------> equation 1
<span>The amount of material used is directly proportional to the surface area, so we will minimize the amount of material by minimizing the surface area.</span>
surface area of the cardboard=area of the base+perimeter of base*height
area of the base=x²
perimeter of the base=4*x
height=y
surface area=x²+4x*y-----> equation 2
substitute equation 1 in equation 2
SA=x²+4x*[256/x²]-----> SA=x²+1024/x
step 1
find the first derivative of SA and equate to zero
2x+1024*(-1)/x²=0------> 2x=1024/x²----> x³=512--------> x=8 cm
y=256/x²------> y=256/8²-----> y=4 cm
the answer is
the length side of the square base of the box is 8 cm
the height of the box is 4 cm
The answer to this problem is 1 :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
10000*7%= $700.00
2500-700=1800
1800 is 10% of 18,000
So 18,000 +10,000 = 28,000 in sales is needed to get $2,500 in commission.
0.
anything multiplied by 0 = 0.
