You have a box with a square bottom and top. you are to construct this box so it has a volume of 600 cubic inches. find the dimensions of the box that will minimize the surface area of the box. then find the minimum surface area.

step-by-step explanation: you take each of the numbers and divide by the amount then you take the range

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
