A designer is making a rectangular prism box with maximum volume, with the sum of its length, width, and height 8 in. The length must be 2 times the width. What should each dimension be? Round to the nearest tenth of an inch if necessary. A. width: 2 in. length: 4 in. height: 2 in. B. width: 1.8 in. length: 3.6 in. height: 2.6 in. C. width: 3.6 in. length: 1.8 in. height: 2.6 in. D. width: 4 in. length: 2 in. height: 2 in.

B. Width: 1.8 in. Length: 3.6 in. Height: 2.6 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent width of the rectangle and y represent height of the prism.

We have been given that the length must be 2 times the width. So length of the prism would be .

We are also told that the sum of its length, width, and height 8 in. We can represent this information in an equation as:

We know that volume of rectangular prism is product of length, width and height.

Upon substituting the values of length, width and height, we will get:

Upon substituting equation (1) in volume formula, we will get:

Now, we will take the derivative of volume function using power rule as:

Now, we will equate derivative with zero and solve for x as:

Since width cannot be 0, therefore, the width of prism would be 1.8 inches.

Length of the prism would be .

Therefore, the length of prism would be 3.6 inches.

Upon substituting in equation (1), we will get:

Therefore, the height of prism would be 2.6 inches and option B is the correct choice.

pay attention in your classes and concentrate the best thing you can do to raise your test scores is to pay attention when you're supposed to be learning the material: in class!
