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

Circumference and Area questions look at the picture
Helga [31]

Note that the formula for the circumference of a circle is πd, while the formula for the area of a circle is πr².

π≈3.14

A. C=πd

Simply plug in the numbers into the formula.

Diameter=Radius*2

17*2=34

C=34(π)

B. (π)(5²)

Plug in the numbers into the formula. Remember that half of the diameter is the radius.

C.  (π)(4.5)

There are two possible formulas that could be used to calculate the circumference of a circle: πd and 2πr.

The expression above is simply multiplying the circle's radius times pi. Therefore, it is not a method that could be used to find the circumference of a circle.

D. (π)(6.5²)

Remember that the formula for calculating the area of a circle is πr².

Half of the diameter is 6.5 (13.5/2=6.5). 6.5 cm. is the radius. Now just plug the numbers into the formula.

(π)(6.5²)

Therefore, the last answer choice is the correct answer.
