Question

A mining company uses a rectangular pond of 1,296 m3 to deposit waste chemicals from the extraction processes. In this pond the depth is twice the width and the length is three times the width. What is the depth of the pond? Remember that the volume of a rectangle is length by width and height.

1. Denotar las dimensiones del estanque rectangular:
- Largo: 3x
- Ancho: x
- Profundidad: 2x

2. Utilizar la fórmula del volumen para expresar el volumen del estanque en función de x:
V = (3x) \cdot x \cdot (2x)

3. Igualar al volumen dado de 1296 m³ y resolver para x:

3x \cdot x \cdot 2x = 1296

6x^3 = 1296

4. Dividir ambos lados por 6:

x^3 = \frac{1296}{6}

x^3 = 216

5. Tomar la raíz cúbica de ambos lados:

x = \sqrt[3]{216}

x = 6

6. Multiplicar x por 2 para encontrar la profundidad:

2x = 2 \cdot 6

7. Respuesta:

2x = 12\, \text{m}

A construction company is working on two projects: house construction and building construction. Each house requires 4 weeks of work and produces a profit of $50,000. Each building requires 8 weeks of work and produces a profit of $100,000. The company has a total of 24 work weeks available. Furthermore, it is known that at least 2 houses and at least 1 building must be built to meet the demand. The company wants to maximize its profits and needs to determine how many houses and buildings it should build to meet demand and maximize profits, given time and demand constraints.
