- 11.- Martha Stewart is designing a box for her cat to sleep in. It has 4 sides and a bottom but no top. The plush material for the square bottom of the box costs $18/ft² and the material for the sides costs $12/ft². She needs a box with a volume of 18 ft2. Find the dimensions of the box that minimize the cost.arrow_forwardThe position of a car is given by the values in the table. t (seconds) 0 s (feet) 1 3 4 5 0 10 32 70 119 178 Find the average velocity for the time period beginning when t = 2 and lasting (1) 3 seconds, (2) 2 seconds, (3) 1 second (Using the graph, one can estimate the instantaneous velocity when t = 2 to be about 28 ft/s.)
