Algebra.Com's Answer #85472 by Fombitz(32388)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! For a cylindrical room, h is height, r is the radius. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "You can rearrange the equation to solve for h as a function of r. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then substitute that back into the surface area equation, \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Plot S using various values of r and look for a minimum. \n" ); document.write( "8.1, 5350. \n" ); document.write( "9.1, 4915. \n" ); document.write( "10.1, 4601. \n" ); document.write( "11.1, 4377. \n" ); document.write( "12.1, 4225. \n" ); document.write( "13.1, 4131. \n" ); document.write( "14.1, 4085. \n" ); document.write( "15.1, 4080. \n" ); document.write( "16.1, 4112. \n" ); document.write( "17.1, 4175. \n" ); document.write( "18.1, 4267. \n" ); document.write( "19.1, 4385. \n" ); document.write( "20.1, 4527. \n" ); document.write( "Looks like a minimum at r=15.1. \n" ); document.write( "Now that you have r, go back to your equation for h and solve. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Make sure to check your answer. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Close enough. \n" ); document.write( "r=15.1 m, h=27.9 m \n" ); document.write( " |
