Question 1
Skill question
An open-top box has width w, length l, height h with w:h=1:2 and surface area (base + sides) 100 m2. Find l,w,h that maximize the volume and give that volume.
Question 2
Skill question
A closed rectangular box has width w=2l and total surface area 150 cm2. Find the dimensions that maximize its volume and give the maximum volume.
Question 3
Skill question
A closed rectangular box has width w=3l and total surface area 120 m2. Find the dimensions l,w,h that maximize its volume and determine the maximum volume.
Question 4
Skill question
An open-top box has width w=3l, length l and height h, and its total surface area (including base but excluding top) is 80 cm2. Find the dimensions that maximize its volume and compute the maximum volume.
Question 5
Skill question
A closed rectangular box has width w, length l and height h with ratio w:h=2:3 and total surface area 180 m2. Find l,w,h that maximize volume and the maximum volume.
Question 6
Skill question
A closed rectangular box has width w=2l and height h=l. Its space diagonal is 30 cm. Find the value of l that maximizes the volume, and determine the maximum volume.
Question 7
Skill question
A closed right circular cylinder has height h=2r, where r is its radius. If its total surface area is 150π cm2, determine r and h that maximize the volume and compute that volume.
Question 8
Skill question
A closed right circular cylinder has height h and radius r satisfying h+2r=20 cm. Find r and h that maximize the volume, and state the maximum volume.
