题目内容
用一块长为a,宽为b(a>b)的矩形木板,在二面角为α的墙角处围出一个直三棱柱的谷仓,试问应怎样围才能使谷仓的容积最大?并求出谷仓容积的最大值.
当木板的长边着地,并且谷仓的底面是以a为底边的等腰三角形时,谷仓的容积最大,其最大值为
a2bcos
.


如图,设矩形木板的长边AB着地,并设OA=x,OB=y,则a2=x2+y2-2xycosα≥2xy
-2xycosα=2xy(1-cosα).
∵0<α<π,∴1-cosα>0,∴xy≤
(当且仅当x=y时取“=”号),故此时谷仓的容积的最大值V1=(
xysinα)b=
同理,若木板短边着地时,谷仓的容积V的最大值V2=
ab2cos
,
∵a>b,∴V1>V2
从而当木板的长边着地,并且谷仓的底面是以a为底边的等腰三角形时,谷仓的容积最大,其最大值为
a2bcos
.

-2xycosα=2xy(1-cosα).
∵0<α<π,∴1-cosα>0,∴xy≤






∵a>b,∴V1>V2
从而当木板的长边着地,并且谷仓的底面是以a为底边的等腰三角形时,谷仓的容积最大,其最大值为
