We know that the volume of a rectangular tank with a square
base is going to be X * X * y, and we're told that the total
volume is 5324.
So we can solve for Y, giving us 5324 / X ^2.
The surface area of this open rectangular tank is going to be
the base X * X or X ^2 plus four of the sides, and the sides are
X * y.
So instead of the Y, if we put in 5324 / X ^2 and simplify, we
had our surface area equaling X ^2 + 21,296 / X.
Taking the first derivative and setting it equal to 0, we get 0
equaling two X -, 2000 twenty 1296 / X ^2.
Solving for X we get X equal 22.
To get Y, we're going to just substitute it back in 5324 / 22
^2 is going to give us 11.
So the dimensions of the tank 22 by 22 by 11.
