Answer

$${\text{The container is cubic of side }}\root 3 \of {100} $$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Considering the base of the cardboard drink containers square and}} \cr & {\text{side }}x,{\text{ its area is given by }}{x^2},{\text{ then te volume of the containers is}} \cr & V = h{x^2} \cr & {\text{We know that the container will hold 100c}}{{\text{m}}^3},{\text{ then}} \cr & 100 = h{x^2}\,\,\,\,\left( {\bf{1}} \right) \cr & {\text{The area of material used can be represented by}} \cr & A = 2{x^2} + 4xh\,\,\,\left( {\bf{2}} \right) \cr & {\text{From the equation }}\left( {\bf{1}} \right){\text{ }}h = \frac{{100}}{{{x^2}}},{\text{ substituting in the equation }}\left( {\bf{2}} \right) \cr & A = 2{x^2} + 4x\left( {\frac{{100}}{{{x^2}}}} \right) \cr & A = 2{x^2} + \frac{{400}}{x},{\text{ where }}x > 0 \cr & {\text{From the graph using GEOGEBRA, we obtain }}x = \root 3 \of {100} \approx 4.641 \cr & {\text{Then, the dimensions are:}} \cr & x = \root 3 \of {100} \cr & h = \frac{{100}}{{{{\left( {\root 3 \of {100} } \right)}^2}}} \cr & h = \root 3 \of {100} \cr & {\text{The container is cubic of side }}\root 3 \of {100} \cr} $$
