Dimension of bottom =Length x Breadth

= 12.619 inch x 4.619‬ inch

≈ 13 inch x 5 inch (To nearest whole number)

Height of box = 1.6905 inch

≈ 2 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the cardboard = 16 inch

Breadth of the cardboard = 8 inch

Since the cardboard has four corners, we would cut out four (4 ) squares.

Assuming the length of the square =y

length of open box = 16-2y (1)

breadth of open box = 8-2y(2)

height of open box = y

Volume of box = Length x breadth x height

= (16-2y) x ( 8-2y) x y

= ( 128-48y + 4y²)y

= 128y-48y² + 4y³

To maximize the volume of the box, V(y); dV/dy =0

dV/dy = 128- 96y + 12y²

12y²-96y+128 = 0

a = 12 , b= -96 , c= 128

y= [-b± √(b²-4ac)]/2a

= [96 ±√(96²- (4 x 12 x128)]/2 (12)

y= 6.3094 or y =1.6905

Substituting both values of y into (1) and (2)

When y = 6.3094

Length of box = 16- 2(6.3094)

= 3.3812 inch

Breadth of box =8- 2 (6.3094)

= -4.6188‬ inch

Since the breadth cannot be negative, this value of y is therefore an extraneous root.

So the correct value of y is the smaller of the two roots of equation,

y = 1.6905 inch

Substituting both values of y into (1) and (2)

When y = 1.6905

Length of box = 16- 2(1.6905)

= 12.619 inch

≈ 13 inch

Breadth of box =8- 2 (1.6905)

= 4.619‬ inch

≈ 5 inch

So the Dimension of the bottom (to nearest whole number):

Length x breadth = 13 inch x 5 inch

Height of the box = 1.6905 inch

≈ 2 inch

36 girls

step-by-step explanation:

the 48 boys is 4 parts of the ratio

divide 48 by 4 to obtain one part of the ratio

$\frac{48}{4}$ = 12 ← 1 part of the ratio

3 parts = 3 × 12 = 36 ← number of girls
