Answer:

The largest possible volume V is ;

V = l^2 × h

V = 20^2 × 10 = 4000cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Volume of a box = length × breadth × height= l×b×h

In this case the box have a square base. i.e l=b

Volume V = l^2 × h

The surface area of a square box

S = 2(lb+lh+bh)

S = 2(l^2 + lh + lh) since l=b

S = 2(l^2 + 2lh)

Given that the box is open top.

S = l^2 + 4lh

And Surface Area of the box is 1200cm^2

1200 = l^2 + 4lh ....1

Making h the subject of formula

h = (1200 - l^2)/4l .....2

Volume is given as

V = l^2 × h

V = l^2 ×(1200 - l^2)/4l

V = (1200l - l^3)/4

the maximum point is at dV/dl = 0

dV/dl = (1200 - 3l^2)/4

dV/dl = (1200 - 3l^2)/4 = 0

3l^2= 1200

l^2 = 1200/3 = 400

l = √400

I = 20cm

Since,

h = (1200 - l^2)/4l

h = (1200 - 20^2)/4×20

h = (800)/80

h = 10cm

The largest possible volume V is ;

V = l^2 × h

V = 20^2 × 10 = 4000cm^3

A square piece of paper has an area of 36 square inches what is the perimeter of the paper​
Gekata [30.6K]

Lets represent the side of the square as s , since we know the area is 36. write s

{s}^{2}  = 36

s = \sqrt{36}

the square root of 36 is 6. So, we know the side is 6. The formula for perimeter is P= s+s+s+s , but since it is a square and all the sides are equal, for a perimeter of a square you can do p= 4s , now substitute 6 for s to get 4(6)=24 so the perimeter of a square would be 24 inches
