1. A box needs to be constructed with a square base and hold a volume of 20 cubic meters. Let x be the length
of a side of the base and let h be the height of the box. We need to find the dimensions of the box that will minimize the cost.
a. Write a volume formula for h in terms of x.
b. Find a formula for the surface area of the box as a function of x.
c. Estimate the value of x which minimizes the surface area.
d. Calculate the height and the surface area of the box.
2. Campbell’s is designing a new soup can. They need to make a cylindrical can that holds 100 cubic inches.
The manufacturer wants to find the dimensions which require the least amount of metal for each can.
a. Write a volume formula for h in terms of r. b. Find a formula for the surface area of the can as a function of r.
c. Estimate the values of r, h and the surface area.
