Let the square base of the container be of side s inches and the height of the container be h inches, then
Surface are of the container, A = s^2 + 4sh
For minimum surface area, dA / ds + dA / dh = 0
i.e. 2s + 4h + 4s = 0
6s + 4h = 0
s = -2/3 h
But, volume of container = 62.5 in cubed
i.e. s^2 x h = 62.5
(-2/3 h)^2 x h = 62.5
4/9 h^2 x h = 62.5
4/9 h^3 = 62.5
h^3 = 62.5 x 9/4 = 140.625
h = cube root of (140.625) = 5.2 inches
s = 2/3 h = 3.47
Therefore, the dimensions of the square base of the container is 3.47 inches and the height is 5.2 inches.
The minimum surface area = s^2 + 4sh = (3.47)^2 + 4(3.47)(5.2) = 12.02 + 72.11 = 84.13 square inches.
This is geometry.. If lines l and M are parallel than we look at the line that goes from bottom left to the top right. this is called the transversal. When lines are parallel then alternate interior angles are congruent. That means opposite sides of the transversal and inside the parallel lines. That means 28 and are congruent.
Your answer is 28.. I hope I helped you learn something..
