Question

Your company was selected to create a tank, with a lid, to hold a hazardous material. You have been asked to store up to 7,200,000 ft^3 of the hazardous material. You have budgeted for 200,000 ft^2 of titanium sheeting. The tank must be in the shape of a cube. Volume of a cube: V=e^3 surface area of a cube: SA=6e^2 what is the edge length, "e" of the largest tank ur company can build? Will the tank be able to hold all 7,200,000 ft^3 of hazardous materials? Please explain too

Answer 1

the budget puts a limit on how large the tank can be

---> 6e^2 = 200,000

solve for e

then cube it to see if volume large enough to hold the 7.2 million ft^3

Answer 2

How do I solve for e?

Answer 3

divide both sides by 6 and then take the square root of both sides
e=?
