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

Elina [12.6K]
STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION:

= x^2 - 13x + 30

= x^2 - 10x - 3x + 30

= x ( x - 10 ) - 3 ( x - 10 )

= ( x - 10 ) ( x - 3 )

FINAL ANSWER:

Therefore, the answer is:

C. x - 10

X=2 because first you have to combine like terms. Than you have to bring the Varible on one side. Finally you solve for the Varible and you get the answer2.

Edge length = 63 feet

Volume = (length) x (width) x (height)

Volume = (63 ft) x (63 ft) x (63 ft) = (63 ft)³ = 250,047 ft³ .
=====================================

1 yard = 3 ft
63 ft = 21 yards

Volume of the cube = (21 yd) x (21 yd) x (21 yd) = (21 yd)³ = 9,261 yd³
======================================

A slightly different way:

1 yard = 3 ft
1 yard³ = (3 ft)³ = 27 ft³

Volume of the cube = (250,047 ft³) x (1 yd³/27 ft³) = 250,047/27 = 9,261 yd³
