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

Ket [755]

Given the radius of 50 miles and the line joining the cities at (0, 56) and (58, 0), the transmitter signal can be picked during 59.24 miles of the drive.

<h3>How can the duration of signal reception be found?</h3>

Radius of broadcast of the transmitter = 50 miles

Location of starting point = 56 miles north of the transmitter

Location of destination city = 58 miles east of the transmitter

Therefore we have;

Slope of the line joining the two cities

= 56 ÷ (-58) = -0.966

Which gives the equation of the line as follows;

y = -0.966•x + 56

The equation of the circle is;

{x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2}  =  {50}^{2}

{x}^{2}  +  { ( - 0.966x + 56)}^{2}  =  {50}^{2}

1.933156•x^2 - 108.192•x + 636 = 0

Which gives;

  • x = 6.67 or x = 49.29

Therefore;

When x = 6.67, we have;

  • y = -0.966 × 6.67 + 56 = 49.56

When x = 49.29, we have;

  • y = -0.966 × 49.29 + 56 = 8.4

The length of the drive, during which the driver can pick the signal, <em>l</em>, is therefore;

l = √((49.56-8.4)^2 + (49.29-6.67)^2) = <u>59.24 miles</u>

  • The length of the drive during which the signal is received is 59.24 miles

A rectangular prism has a length of 4.2 cm, a width of 5.8 cm, and a height of 9.6 cm. A similar prism has a length of 14.7 cm,
solong [7]
They are each multiplied by a factor of 3.5
You can calculate this by taking the length of the similar prism and divide it with the first prism 14.7/4.2 = 3.5
Do this with the width and height to be sure
20.3/5.8 = 3.5
33.6/9.6 = 3.5
