You are tasked with constructing a rectangular box with a square base, an open top, and a volume of 184 in3. Determine what the dimensions of the box should be to minimize the surface area of the box. What is the minimum surface area? Keep your answer in radical form and omit units.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

7.17 by 7.17 by 3.58

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the rectangular box is square based, the total surface area is expressed as;

S = x²+2xh+2xh (the top is opened)

S = x² + 4xh ..... 1

x is the side length of the square

h is the height of the box

Also the volume V = x²h

Given V = 184

184 = x²h

h = 184/x² .... 2

Substitute 2 into 1;

S = x² + 4xh

S = x² + 4x(184/x²)

S = x² + 4(184/x)

S = x² + 736/x

Since we need a dimension that will minimize the surface area of the box then, dS/dx = 0

dS/dx = 2x -736/x²

0 = 2x -736/x²

multiply through by x²

0 = 2x³- 736

2x³ = 736

x³ = 736/2

x³ = 368

x = ∛368

x= 7.17 in

Since V = x²h

184 = 7.17²h

h = 184/7.17²

h = 184/51.4089

h = 3.58 in

Hence the dimensions of the box should be to minimize the surface area of the box are 7.17 by 7.17 by 3.58

Answers

Answer:

d= 99   e= 81   f= 99

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

d = 90

e = 81

f = 99

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find e because you can figure it out by vertical angles. 81 and e are vertical so e is 81. To find f, you subtract 180 by 81 because it's a straight line which is 99. So f is 99. To find d, you can use the right angle next to it. 180-90 is 90. So d is 90.

And please show work!

Answers

Answer: 97 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

I drew some letters on your attachment to make it easier for you to understand.

To find angle y you need to find angle x first, you do that by doing (180=A+B+C) and you solve for A which is x degrees (A=180-B-C)

When you use angle C you must combine the 26 degrees and 55 degrees because if you use only 55 let's say, that would be the angle for triangle CDB, and we need C for triangle ABC.

So: A=180-42-81 -> A=57 degrees

Now you know Angle A (57 degrees) and Angle ACD (26 degrees)

All you have to do to find Y is to do: y=180-x-26

So y would be: 97 degrees

How should I explain how I got my answer?

Answers

Answer:

What is meant by "Explain your answer?"

   On tests & problem sets students are often asked to explain the reasoning behind their answers. They are often frustrated and/or confused by “explain.” What & why are they supposed to explain? Here is one answer:

   It isn't enough to get the right answer -- you have to be able to explain how you got it. To be sure you get enough practice at explaining yourself, it pays to discuss the questions with your fellow students and/or to write out explanations of your reasoning. You need to both

           (1) Include the right facts, principles, etc., AND

           (2) Explain the logic that you used to solve the problem. How did you get from the facts to the answer?

   It is not sufficient to pile up unselected facts (even if they are correct), OR just to state the facts (even if they are the right ones), without explaining how they relate to the problem at hand, OR to just explain the logical train of thought (even if it is correct), without any specifics.

   That's what you shouldn't do. What should you aim for??

   Try to explain as if you were talking to a fellow student in the class who is generally intelligent, prepared, etc., but can't figure out this particular question.  In other words, explain your reasoning step by step.  Don't just repeat all the related facts in the book or notes--try to pick out the important, relevant points, put them in logical order, and explain (or diagram) how one leads to the next. (In other words, pretend you are writing a simple* answer key.)

*Note: The keys provided after each exam or problem set are usually quite complex and go beyond what we expect from an individual student. The posted keys tend to be so long and involved because they include not only correct answers (& explanations) but also explanations of common student misconceptions.

How to Get the Most out of Explaining

   When you explain things to yourself, or to others, try not to use pronouns. Use nouns instead. This may sound silly, but it really helps you to be sure that you understand what you are saying. If you use pronouns or vague terms you can fool yourself into thinking you understand when you really don't. An example: Suppose you say "The gene is transcribed and it goes to the cytoplasm and is translated, which uses tRNA and mRNA." What do you mean by it and/or which?  Is it the gene or the mRNA? Does which refer to translation or transcription? Sometimes you know, and you are just using shorthand. But sometimes you don't know, and you don't even realize it until you are forced to pick the right terms to replace "it" and "which."  So try to be as specific as possible instead of as vague and as general as possible. Being specific has multiple advantages. It helps you to learn, it helps listeners understand what you are saying, and it helps graders on exams know that you really understand what you are talking about.

how to i find the missing 2 angles

Answers

Answer:

therefore, x is 71 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that the exterior angle is 142 degrees.

we also know that we have to find x, which is labeled two times as an interior triangle (in the same triangle), so they must be the same degree.

there are different ways to solve this but the easiest way is this:

exterior angle = opposite interior angle 1 + opposite interior angle 2

142 degrees = x + x

142 degrees = 2x

142/2 = x

x = 71

therefore, x is 71 degrees

He had rehearsed the speech for days, practicing late into the night when the house was quiet. The night before, he had been putting the finishing touches on the speech when his mother snuck up the stairs and stopped by his bedroom door with a mug of tea. It looks like you will need this. Hows it coming? She tucked the long end of her sari under her leg and sat on his bed. The familiar smell that reminded him of trips to India tickled his nose as he took the warm mug from her; he pressed it to his lips and took a long sip. I dont think theyre going to understand it. Its okay if they dont understand it in their brains; its more important that they feel it here. She pressed her hand to his heart. My friends dont know what you went through to get here, and I want to get it just right because I need them to like the story. Your friends will like you no matter what. Practice it one more time, and then you need to get some sleep. He stared at the words that he had painstakingly crafted to tell the story of how his parents had immigrated to the United States from India. Even though he hadnt been born at the time, he could feel the heat on their skin as theyd packed up their belongings in Mumbai and boarded the plane for their new lives. After a twenty20-hour flight, they landed in the chill of Chicago; they hadnt brought enough heavy clothes with them and had to buy sweatshirts from the airport store before stepping out into snow for the first time. His mother had danced around in the swirling white like a fascinated child, tasting flakes on her tongue before the cab whisked them away to their new lives. He didnt know how his parents got by in those early days of loneliness and isolation, when they didnt know their neighbors and couldnt find their favorite spices or flavors in the local grocery store. He imagined his homesick mother making pungent curry in the tiny kitchen of the apartment that was their first homecurry that she didnt share with anyone except her husband because he was the only person she knew. Eventually they had made a life there, and one year after theyd brought Samir home as a newborn, his younger sister Aarti was born, and they became a family of four. Each year that his parents lived in Chicago, they spoke about Mumbai like it was more of a memory. Samir grew up hearing stories of Mumbai and taking summer trips where he heard his parents speak a language that was clumsy on his own English-speaking tongue. He couldnt imagine leaving his life and moving herefar away, but he knew that his parents had done it for him and his sister. It was the ultimate sacrifice, his mother had said, but it was worth it. When he had finished rehearsing his speech for his mother, she dabbed her face, and he knew she was crying. He didnt need to ask how the speech washer expression told him that it was perfect. Samirs thoughts came back to the present moment as he cleared his throat and stepped onto the stage in front of the entire middle schoolhis friends and teachers were all here. He had often felt different from his peers and wanted so much for them to understand his story. But looking out into the crowd at all the different faces he realized that his peers must have their own stories to tell as well. Perhaps they wanted to be understood, too. He realized the only way to be understood is to share those stories. Perhaps if he shared his own story, others would share theirs, too. Perhaps it would help them to understand one another. He found his moms eyes in the middle of the front row. When she nodded, he began.
