Not sure how to write the formula for perimeter of a cross section

OpenStudy (drummergirl7):

hi could u plz help me with my question i lost ill medal u

OpenStudy (jskhupmang):

lol ok tag me

OpenStudy (jskhupmang):

@zepdrix Could you help me? Thanks

OpenStudy (sooobored):

the perimeter of a square a square has 4 even sides, the perimeter is the sum of all the sides P=s+s+s+s = 4s

OpenStudy (sooobored):

length and girth must be a max of 90 in hence L+4s =90 volume of the rectangular box would be V=s*s*L --- length* width*height

OpenStudy (jskhupmang):

ok thanks. So for Restraint, should I use the formula for Perimeter of a Cross Section = 4s+L=90 ?

OpenStudy (jskhupmang):

@sooobored

OpenStudy (jskhupmang):

volume would be= s^2*L right?

OpenStudy (sooobored):

your restraint is the sum of the length and the girth girth is just defined as the perimeter of the cross-sectional area cross sectional area happens to be a square the perimeter of a square happens to be 4s formula of the perimeter of a square cross section would be P=4s formula of your restraint would be 90=L+Girth= L+4s

OpenStudy (sooobored):

and yes, volume = s^2 L

OpenStudy (jskhupmang):

thanks, so now I found the derivative of the volume which is 180s-12s^2. I set equal to zero, s=0 , s=15. Is this correct?

OpenStudy (sooobored):

assuming you did the derivation correctly, cause i didnt actually do the problem a side length of 0 is not a valid answer hence s=15 would be your only solution

OpenStudy (jskhupmang):

so L=30

OpenStudy (jskhupmang):

Thanks it was correct! @sooobored
