A microwaveable cup-of-soup package needs to be constructed inthe shape of cylinder to hold 300 cubic centimeters of soup. Thesides and bottom of the container will be made of styrofoam costing0.03 cents per square centimeter. The top will be made of gluedpaper, costing 0.07 cents per square centimeter. Find thedimensions for the package that will minimize production cost.Helpful information: h : height of cylinder, r : radius of cylinderVolume of a cylinder: V = π r 2 h Area of the sides: A = 2 π r hArea of the top/bottom: A = π r 2 To minimize the cost of thepackage:
Radius: = _________ cm
Height:=__________ cm
Minimum cost: = _______ cents
I need help finding the Radius, Height and minimumcost.
