Answer:

Base angles = 40°

Vertex angle = 100°

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the attached figure.

The external angle, is the angle outside the triangle. An isosceles angle has two base angles and a vertex angle. The base angles are congruent.

The external angle and one of the base angles (the one beside the external angle) are supplementary, this means that the sum of their angles is 180°.

With that, we can solve for one base angle:

base angle + external angle = 180°

base angle + 140° = 180°

base angle = 180° - 140°

base angle = 40°

So the base angles each have a measurement of 40°

Okay, now that we know this, we can solve for the , so there are two ways to do this.

I: The sum of the internal angles is equal to the external opposite them. Then the vertex angle + a base angle = external angle

vertex angle + 40° = 140°

vertex angle = 140° - 40°

vertex angle = 100°

The vertex angle is 100°.

OR YOU CAN DO THIS:

II. The sum of all angles in a triangle is equal to 180°.

Base angle + Base angle + Vertex Angle = 180°

40° + 40° + Vertex angle = 180°

80° + Vertex angle = 180°

Vertex angle = 180° - 80°

Vertex angle = 100°

All boxes with a square base, an open top, and a volume of 60 ft cubed have a surface area given by S(x)equalsx squared plus

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

The absolute minimum of the surface area function on the interval $(0,\infty)$ is $S(2\sqrt[3]{15})=12\cdot \:15^{\frac{2}{3}} \:ft^2$

The dimensions of the box with minimum surface area are: the base edge $x=2\sqrt[3]{15}\:ft$ and the height $h=\sqrt[3]{15} \:ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the surface area of a box $S(x)=x^2+\frac{240}{x}$ where x is the length of the sides of the base.

Our goal is to find the absolute minimum of the the surface area function on the interval $(0,\infty)$ and the dimensions of the box with minimum surface area.

1. To find the absolute minimum you must find the derivative of the surface area ( $S'(x)$ ) and find the critical points of the derivative ( $S'(x)=0$ ).

$\frac{d}{dx} S(x)=\frac{d}{dx}(x^2+\frac{240}{x})\\\\\frac{d}{dx} S(x)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(x^2\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{240}{x}\right)\\\\S'(x)=2x-\frac{240}{x^2}$

Next,

$2x-\frac{240}{x^2}=0\\2xx^2-\frac{240}{x^2}x^2=0\cdot \:x^2\\2x^3-240=0\\x^3=120$

There is a undefined solution $x=0$ and a real solution $x=2\sqrt[3]{15}$ . These point divide the number line into two intervals $(0,2\sqrt[3]{15})$ and $(2\sqrt[3]{15}, \infty)$

Evaluate S'(x) at each interval to see if it's positive or negative on that interval.

$\begin{array}{cccc}Interval&x-value&S'(x)&Verdict\\(0,2\sqrt[3]{15}) &2&-56&decreasing\\(2\sqrt[3]{15}, \infty)&6&\frac{16}{3}&increasing \end{array}$

An extremum point would be a point where f(x) is defined and f'(x) changes signs.

We can see from the table that f(x) decreases before $x=2\sqrt[3]{15}$ , increases after it, and is defined at $x=2\sqrt[3]{15}$ . So f(x) has a relative minimum point at $x=2\sqrt[3]{15}$ .

To confirm that this is the point of an absolute minimum we need to find the second derivative of the surface area and show that is positive for $x=2\sqrt[3]{15}$ .

$\frac{d}{dx} S'(x)=\frac{d}{dx}(2x-\frac{240}{x^2})\\\\S''(x) =\frac{d}{dx}\left(2x\right)-\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{240}{x^2}\right)\\\\S''(x) =2+\frac{480}{x^3}$

and for $x=2\sqrt[3]{15}$ we get:

$2+\frac{480}{\left(2\sqrt[3]{15}\right)^3}\\\\\frac{480}{\left(2\sqrt[3]{15}\right)^3}=2^2\\\\2+4=6>0$

Therefore S(x) has a minimum at $x=2\sqrt[3]{15}$ which is:

$S(2\sqrt[3]{15})=(2\sqrt[3]{15})^2+\frac{240}{2\sqrt[3]{15}} \\\\2^2\cdot \:15^{\frac{2}{3}}+2^3\cdot \:15^{\frac{2}{3}}\\\\4\cdot \:15^{\frac{2}{3}}+8\cdot \:15^{\frac{2}{3}}\\\\S(2\sqrt[3]{15})=12\cdot \:15^{\frac{2}{3}} \:ft^2$
