Answer: x*(x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Plexiglass is a cuboid

which means that the area would be l*w

in the question it states that the width is 5 cm shorter than the length

since we dont know the values

we represent them as x

so using l*w

we write x*(x-5)

Find the dimensions of the box with volume 1728 cm3 that has minimal surface area. (Let x, y, and z be the dimensions of the box

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

The dimensions of the box are 12 cm , 12 cm , 12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x , y and z be the dimensions of box

Volume of box =xyz=1728

$z=\frac{1728}{xy}$

Surface area of box = $2xy+2yz+2xz=2xy+2y(\frac{1728}{xy})+2x(\frac{1728}{xy})$

Let $f(x,y)=2xy+2(\frac{1728}{x})+2(\frac{1728}{y})$

To get minimal surface area

$\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}=0$ and $\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}=0$

$\frac{\partial(2xy+2(\frac{1728}{x})+2(\frac{1728}{y}))}{\partial x}=0$

$2y-2(\frac{1728}{x^2})=0$

$y=\frac{1728}{x^2}$ ----1

$\frac{\partial(2xy+2(\frac{1728}{x})+2(\frac{1728}{y}))}{\partial y}=0$

$2x-2(\frac{1728}{y^2})=0\\x=\frac{1728}{y^2} \\y^2=\frac{1728}{x}$

Using 1

$(\frac{1728}{x^2} )^2=\frac{1728}{x}$

x=0 and $x^3=1728$

Side can never be 0

So, $x^3=1728$

x=12

$y=\frac{1728}{x^2} \\y=\frac{1728}{12^2}$

y=12

$z=\frac{1728}{xy}\\z=\frac{1728}{(12)(12)}$

z=12

The dimensions of the box are 12 cm , 12 cm , 12 cm

A right rectangular prism and an oblique triangular prism are both 12 centimeters tall and have the same volume. What statement

Bas_tet [7]

This is the concept of volumes of solid figures, given that the height of the right rectangular prism and the oblique triangular prism are 12 cm and both prisms have the same volume, we can conclude that:
Horizontal cross-sections of the prisms at the same height have the same area.
