Algebra.Com's Answer #85447 by psbhowmick(878)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Basically you have to find the relation between the radius and height of a right circular cylinder with given volume for minimum surface area.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Cans are hollow cylinders with both ends closed. \n" ); document.write( "So, total surface area is \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The volume is \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For minimum surface area, \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, the height is \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a) Substituting V = 500 cc, \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b) \n" ); document.write( "So, cost of material per can = $(0.2 x 348.53) = $69.7. \n" ); document.write( " |
