Answer:

A yes, B no

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle inequality states that the sum of any 2 sides of the triangle must be greater than the third side.

A Given 21, 18, 17 , then

21 + 18 = 39 > 17

21 + 17 = 38 > 18

18 + 17 = 35 > 21

Thus the triangle could exist

B Given 3, 12, 8 , then

3 + 12 = 9 > 8

3 + 8 = 11 < 12 ← fails the test

Thus the triangle does not exist

Find the volume of the largest rectangular box in the first octant with three faces in the coordinate planes and one vertex in t
Tresset [83]

Answer: The volume of largest rectangular box is 4.5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Volume = xyz

with subject to x+2y+3z=9

So, let z=\dfrac{9-x-2y}{3}

So, Volume becomes,

V=xyz\\\\V=xy(\dfrac{9-x-2y}{3})\\\\V=\dfrac{9xy-x^2y-2xy^2}{3}

Partially derivative wrt x and y we get that

9-2x-2y=0\implies 2x+2y=9\\\\and\\\\9-x-4y=0\implies x+4y=9

By solving these two equations, we get that

x=3,y=\dfrac{3}{2}

So, z=\dfrac{9-x-2y}{3}=\dfrac{9-3-3}{3}=\dfrac{3}{3}=1

So, Volume of largest rectangular box would be

xyz=3\times \dfrac{3}{2}\times 1=\dfrac{9}{2}=4.5

Hence, the volume of largest rectangular box is 4.5 units.
