A company designs fish tanks of various sizes. Because of shipping restrictions, a fish tank's height (1 vertical edge) and the entire perimeter of the base (4 edges along the bottom) cannot be more than 300 centimeters altogether (the total of all 5 edges).   Suppose the company wants to ship a fish tank that has a SQUARE BASE (the dimensions of the bottom of the fish tank are equal, similar to the image above). If the fish tank has a length of 45 centimeters along one edge of the bottom, how tall can the fish tank be?   What is the volume of the fish tank?   Write a function to represent the volume of a fish tank with a SQUARE BASE of length xx for one edge, still using the total sum of the height and perimeter of the base equal to 300 centimeters altogether.    What dimensions of a fish tank with SQUARE BASE will give the maximum volume? And, what is the maximum volume?

A company designs fish tanks of various sizes. Because of shipping restrictions, a fish tank's height (1 vertical edge) and the entire perimeter of the base (4 edges along the bottom) cannot be more than 300 centimeters altogether (the total of all 5 edges).

 

Suppose the company wants to ship a fish tank that has a SQUARE BASE (the dimensions of the bottom of the fish tank are equal, similar to the image above). If the fish tank has a length of 45 centimeters along one edge of the bottom, how tall can the fish tank be?

 

What is the volume of the fish tank?

 

Write a function to represent the volume of a fish tank with a SQUARE BASE of length xx for one edge, still using the total sum of the height and perimeter of the base equal to 300 centimeters altogether. 

 

What dimensions of a fish tank with SQUARE BASE will give the maximum volume? And, what is the maximum volume?
