Express the total cost C in terms of the height h in meters. (Hint: work out the cost of the glass and frame separately.)\r

Algebra.Com's Answer #711943 by greenestamps(13200)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The first solution is not right.... \n" ); document.write( "The aquarium has a square base of side length s and a height of h. The volume is to be 20, so \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "The glass required is for the base, area s^2, and four sides, each area s*h. That total area is \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "The cost of the glass is then \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "The metal needed for the frame is 4 sides on top and 4 sides on bottom, each length s, and 4 vertical edges, each length h. The total length of all the edges is \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "and then the cost for the metal for the frame is \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Then an expression for the total cost in terms of the height h is \n" ); document.write( " |
