Answer:
The volume in such a package is 10,415.41 in³
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
A parcel delivery service will deliver a package only if the length plus the girth (distance around, taken perpendicular to the length) does not exceed 104 inches.
Let the dimension are x by x by y.
Where x is the variable for the square base package and y is the variable for length.
Thus l=x, b=x and h=y
Then the volume of the box is: (∵V=lbh)
The maximum combined length and girth is 104.
Therefore,
Substitute the value of y in volume of the box.
Substitute V'(x)=0.
Now apply second derivative test.
(Min)
(Max)
If x=52/3 then
Substitute x = 52/3 and y = 104/3 in
Hence, the volume in such a package is 10,415.41 in³
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For this exercise it is important to remember that a Right triangle is a triangle that has an angle that measures 90 degrees.
According to the Altitude Rule, given a Right triangle, if you draw an altitude from the vertex of the angle that measures 90 degrees (The right angle) to the hypotenuse, the measure of that altitude is the geometric mean between the measures of the two segments of the hypotenuse.
In this case, you can identify that the altitude that goes from the vertex of the right angle () to the hypotenuse of the triangle, is:
Then, based on the Altitude Rule, you can set up the following proportion:
According to the Leg Rule, each leg is the mean proportional between the hypotenuse and the portion of the hypotenuse that is located directly below that leg of the triangle.
Knowing this, you can set up the following proportions:
