The minimum surface area that such a box can have is 380 square
<h3>How to determine the minimum surface area such a box can have?</h3>
Represent the base length with x and the bwith h.
So, the volume is
V = x^2h
This gives
x^2h = 500
Make h the subject
h = 500/x^2
The surface area is
S = 2(x^2 + 2xh)
Expand
S = 2x^2 + 4xh
Substitute h = 500/x^2
S = 2x^2 + 4x * 500/x^2
Evaluate
S = 2x^2 + 2000/x
Differentiate
S' = 4x - 2000/x^2
Set the equation to 0
4x - 2000/x^2 = 0
Multiply through by x^2
4x^3 - 2000 = 0
This gives
4x^3= 2000
Divide by 4
x^3 = 500
Take the cube root
x = 7.94
Substitute x = 7.94 in S = 2x^2 + 2000/x
S = 2 * 7.94^2 + 2000/7.94
Evaluate
S = 380
Hence, the minimum surface area that such a box can have is 380 square

266.08- 15.99 (get it down to its base)
250.09/.89= 281 miles.
Do it yourself GET OFF THIS APPPPP just kidding idk the answer
<span>You can select from any of the 8 on the first day, leaving 7 to choose from on the second day, leaving 6 for the third. So, 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 or 8! That's 8factorial, so multiply those out or use a calculator to get 8! and that is your answer.</span>
