Answer:
It would be a square and 2d
Explanation:
Answer:
Rectangular path
Solution:
As per the question:
Length, a = 4 km
Height, h = 2 km
In order to minimize the cost let us denote the side of the square bottom be 'a'
Thus the area of the bottom of the square, A = 
Let the height of the bin be 'h'
Therefore the total area, 
The cost is:
C = 2sh
Volume of the box, V =
(1)
Total cost,
(2)
From eqn (1):

Using the above value in eqn (1):


Differentiating the above eqn w.r.t 'a':

For the required solution equating the above eqn to zero:


a = 4
Also

The path in order to minimize the cost must be a rectangle.
The world won't go to the ball because it is a smaller figure than the earth and the ball has no gravitational force to orbit and anything the enters the earth is going to crash down to the surface onto the earth. hope this help's
