Answer:

9. x = 5

10. AD = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

As shown in the diagram, BD is a perpendicular bisector. And D is a point on the perpendicular bisector, meaning it is equidistant from the endpoints on the segment(points A and C). Because of this, we can say AD = CD.

We can substitute to get:

2x - 3 = x + 2

And simplify and solve:

x - 3 = 2

x = 5

AD is just 2x - 3, so we can substitute in x to find AD:

AD = 2(5) -3

AD = 10 - 3

AD = 7

Let x, y, and z denote the side lengths of the box, with the bottom face having dimensions x-by-y and z is the height. Naturally this means each of x, y, and z must be greater than 0.

The box has a fixed volume of 252 cm³, so

xyz = 252

The surface area of the box is

2xy + 2xz + 2yz

and we're told that the material cost for each face is different. The total cost of the material needed to make the box is given by

C (x, y, z) = ($5/cm²) xy + ($2/cm²) xy + 2 ($3/cm²) (xz + yz)

or, omitting units and simplifying,

C (x, y, z) = 7xy + 6 (x + y) z

In the volume constraint, solve for any one variable; I'll do z.

z = 252/(xy)

Substitute this into the cost function:

C (x, y, 252/(xy)) = 7xy + 1512 (x + y)/(xy)

Since this is now a function of 2 variables, I'll rewrite this as

C* (x, y) = 7xy + 1512 (1/y + 1/x)

Compute the partial derivatives of C and find the critical points:

∂C/∂x = 7y - 1512/x² = 0 ⇒ x² y = 216

∂C/∂y = 7x - 1512/y² = 0 ⇒ x y² = 216

It follows that

x² y = x y² ⇒ x = y

Just like before, we can think about C* as yet another function but only of 1 variable,

C** (x) = 7x² + 3024/x

Now find the critical points of C** :

dC**/dx = 14x - 3024/x² = 0 ⇒ x = 6

All of this tells us that C (x, y, z) has a critical point when x = y = 6 and z = 252/6² = 7. So the box that costs the least has dimensions 6 × 6 × 7 cm, which gives the box a surface area of 240 cm² and a total cost of $756.

A cylindrical tank has a diameter of 2.5 feet and a height of 4.8 feet. what is the lateral surface area of the tank to the near

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

This is approximately $37.7 ft^{2}$ to the nearest hundredth

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we will need to understand that to find the lateral surface area of the cylinder, we simply need to multiply the circumference of the circular base by the height of the cylinder.

In this case, the circumference of the circular base can be obtained by the formula

$2 \pi r$

Hence we will have the circumference as $2 \times \pi \times \frac{2.5}{2}=7.85 feet$

Tp get the Lateral area, we will simply have to multiply this value (7.85 feet )

by the height (4.8 feet)

7.85 X 4.8 = $37.68 feet ^{2}$

This is approximately $37.7 ft^{2}$ to the nearest hundredth
