Question

PLEASE HELP THANKS SO MUCH!

Find the surface area of the container. Find the volume of the container.C.
The company will manufacture the container if the surface-area-to-volume ratio is less than 1. Determine whether the company should manufacture the container. Show your work and explain. THANK YOU

Answer 1

surface area = sum of 2 triangles + sum of the 3 rectangles

= 2 * 84 + 18*24 + 18*25 + 18*7 = 1176 ft^2

volume = 1/2*7 *24 * 18 = 1512 ft^3
surface area to volume = 1176:1512 = 0.78 which is less than 1.
so the company wil manufacture it.
