The largest possible volume of the given box is; 96.28 ft³
<h3>How to maximize volume of a box?</h3>
Let b be the length and the width of the base (length and width are the same since the base is square).
Let h be the height of the box.
The surface area of the box is;
S = b² + 4bh
We are given S = 100 ft². Thus;
b² + 4bh = 100
h = (100 - b²)/4b
Volume of the box in terms of b will be;
V(b) = b²h = b² * (100 - b²)/4b
V(b) = 25b - b³/4
The volume is maximum when dV/db = 0. Thus;
dV/db = 25 - 3b²/4
25 - 3b²/4 = 0
√(100/3) = b
b = 5.77 ft
Thus;
h = (100 - (√(100/3)²)/4(5.77)
h = 2.8885 ft
Thus;
Largest volume = [√(100/3)]² * 2.8885
Largest Volume = 96.28 ft³

It takes 8 hours to clean 12 houses so that’s 8/12 to find how many hours it take to clean one house, 8/12 is equal 2/3 . So it takes 2/3 of an hour to clean one house. 2/3 times 12 equals 8. So you want to find how many houses you can clean in 12 hours. The equation is 12= 2/3x , x=18. The answer is 18 houses. Check the work cus I sure didn’t lol, hope this helps
Answer: B
The series converges because it has a sum of 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>The tortoise crawls the whole 1000 m at 0.2 m/s, therefore, you must divide the distance by the rate of travel to find the time it took to complete the race. This gives us a time of 5,000 seconds to crawl the thousand meters. The hare runs the first 200 meters at 2 m/s, meaning that takes 100 seconds. The last 800 meters divided by the speed of 3 m/s gives us a time of 266 seconds. These two numbers must be added to the hare's rest time, converted from 1.3 hours into seconds by multiplying that number by 60 (for minutes in an hour) then 60 again (for seconds in a minute). 1.3 hours is equal to 4680 seconds. Therefore, the whole race took the hare 5,046 seconds, making it slightly slower than the hare, who finished in 5,000 seconds flat.</span>
