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

Find the length of the prism if the width is 12 feet, the height is 18 feet, and the volume of the prism is 3240 cubic feet.
olga55 [171]

Known :

w = 12 feet

h = 18 feet

V = 3.240 feet³

Asked :

l = ...?

Answer :

V = l × w × h

3240 = l × 12 × 18

3240 = 216 l

l = 3240 ÷ 216

l = <u>1</u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>feet</u>

So, the length is 15 feet

What is equivalent ratio of 5:8:4 and explain how u got it
igor_vitrenko [27]

this is example

So, first we need to write the given ratio as fraction,

= 8/18

= (8 × 2)/(18 × 2)

= 16/36

= 16 : 36 (one equivalent ratio),

So, 16 : 36 is an equivalent ratio of 8 : 18.

Now we will find another equivalent ratio of 8 : 18 by using division.

Similarly, first we need to write the given ratio as fraction,

= 8/18

= (8 ÷ 2)/(18 ÷ 2)

= 4/9

= 4 : 9 (another equivalent ratio)

So, 4 : 9 is an equivalent ratio of 8 : 18.

Therefore, the two equivalent ratios of 8 : 18 are 16 : 36 and 4 : 9.

2. Frame two equivalent ratios of 4 : 5.

Solution:

To find two equivalent ratios of 4 : 5 we need to apply multiplication method only to get the answer in integer form.

First we need to write the given ratio as fraction,

= 4/5

= (4 × 2)/(5 × 2)

= 8/10

= 8 : 10 is one equivalent ratio,

Similarly again, we need to write the given ratio 4 : 5 as fraction to get another equivalent ratio;

= 4/5

= (4 × 3)/(5 × 3)

= 12/15 is another equivalent ratio

Therefore, the two equivalent ratios of 4 : 5 are 8 : 10 and 12 : 15.

Note: In this question we can’t apply division method to get the answer in integer form because the G.C.F. of 4 and 5 is 1. That means, 4 and 5 cannot be divisible by any other number except 1.
