Answer:

Side length = \sqrt{\frac{A}{3} } cm ,   Height =  \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{A}{3} } cm  ,  Volume = \frac{A\sqrt{A}}{6\sqrt{3} }  cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume

Side length of base = x

Height of box = y

total material required to construct box = A ( given in question)

So it can be written as

A = x² + 4xy

4xy = A - x²

  1. y = \frac{A - x^{2} }{4x}

Volume of box = Area x height

V = x² ₓ y

V = x² ₓ ( \frac{A - x^{2} }{4x} )

V =  \frac{Ax - x^{3} }{4}

To find max volume put V' = 0

So taking derivative equation becomes

\frac{A - 3 x^{2} }{4} = 0

A = 3 x^{2}

x^{2} = \frac{A}{3}

x = \sqrt{\frac{A}{3\\} }

put value of x in equation 1

y = \frac{A - \frac{A}{3} }{4\sqrt{\frac{A}{3} } }  

y = \frac{2 \sqrt{\frac{A}{3} } }{4 \sqrt{\frac{A}{3} } }

y = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{A}{3} }

So the volume will be

V = x^{2} × y

Put values of x and y from equation 2 & 3

V = \frac{A}{3} (\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{A}{3} } )

V = \frac{A\sqrt{A}}{6\sqrt{3} }

Maggie purchased 8 pounds of ground beef for $18.00. Which of the following does NOT represent the same price per pound?
agasfer [191]

Answer: 5 pounds of ground beef ( don't see second :-( )

Step-by-step explanation: I found the unit rate per pound ( 2.25 ) and then multiplied that by the other pounds to compare the two prices and I only found 5 pounds to be incorrect, but I'll keep digging, hope this helps!

Find the value of X.
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

X = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles on a straight line=180°

180-151=29°

sum of angles in a triangle= 180°

11x-1+20-3+29=180

11x+20x-3-1+29=180

31x+25=180

31x=180-25

31x=155

divide both sides by 31

X=5

(11x-1)°= 55-1= 54°

(20x-3)°= 100-3= 97°

54°+97°+29°=180°
