A packaging company is going to make open-topped boxes, with square bases, that hold 108 cubic centimeters. What are the dimensions of the box that can be built
with the least material?

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.

to find the perimeter, you add up all the lengths of the sides. in this case you would have to add up 18+22+40+80 which equals 160.

if y=4x then you will substitute 4x in for y in the second equation.

8x + 4x = 18 combine like terms

12x = 18 divide by 12 on both sides

x = 18/12 or 3/2

now replace x in the first equation with 3/2 to get

y = 4 3/2

y = 6

the answer is a

(3/2,6)
