Question:
14. A 12-ft (144-in.) wire is cut into eight pieces which are welded together to form a pyramid as shown, such that in the rectangular base
. Write a MATLAB program that determines the dimensions a and b such that the volume of the pyramid will be as large as possible. In the program define a vector a with values ranging from 4 to 14 in. with increments of 0.01 in. Use this vector for calculating the corresponding values of
b, h and the volume. Then use MATLAB’s built-in function max to find the dimensions of a and b that correspond to the pyramid with the largest volume.
