There are many square prisms with volume 125 in. Let w represent the side length of the square base and h represent the height i

n
inches. Then the formula for the volume V, in cubic inches of these prisms is V = w2h and the equation for the surface area S, in
square inches, is S = 2w2 + 4wh.

Answer:

5in by 5in by 5in

Step-by-step explanation:

We are not told wat to find but we can as well find the dimension of the prism that will minimize its surface area.

Given

Volume = 125in³

Formula

V = w²h ..... 1

S = 2w²+4wh ..... 2

w is the side length of the square base

h is the height of the prism

125 = w²h

h = 125/w² ..... 3

Substitute eqn 3 into 2 as shown

S = 2w²+4wh

S = 2w²+4w(125/w²)

S = 2w²+500/w

To minimize the surface area, dS/dw = 0

dS/dw =4w-500/w²

0= 4w-500/w²

Multiply through by w²

0 = 4w³-500

-4w³ = -500

w³ = 500/4

w³ =125

w = cuberoot(125)

w = 5in

Get the height

125 =w²h

125 = 25h

h = 125/25

h = 5in

Hence the dimension of the prism is 5in by 5in by 5in

Explain the differences between properties of equality and properties of inequality when solving equations and inequalities.
matrenka [14]
Equalities will have the words "is" or "equals" or "the same as" in the wording. These produce a unique solution.

Inequalities have phrases like "at most" or "at least" or "no more than" in them. Solutions are a range of values, ranging between 2 values, or from a particular value to positive or negative infinity.

25. A wheelchair access ramp has an angle of elevation of 16°. If the ramp
Elanso [62]

Answer:

C. 76.81

Step-by-step explanation:

We must use one of the trigonometric ratios to find the length, L,  of the ramp.  If we use 16 as the reference angle, the 22 in would be our opposite side and the ramp length is the adjacent.

Therefore, we must use tan, which is \frac{opposite}{adjacent}:

tan (16)=\frac{22}{L} \\\\L*(tan(16)=22)\\\\L*tan(16)=22\\

\frac{L*tan(16)}{tan(16)}=\frac{22}{tan(16}  \\\\L=79.815=79.82 in.
