Prove that any cylindrical can of volume K cubic units that is to be made using a minimum of material must have the height equal to the diameter.
No they are not:there is no reason to separate d and h from each other because they are the same value d=h=x

and the equation for volume is (pi)r^2x
The Optimization cylindrical can Problem is a mathematical problem that involves finding the dimensions of a cylindrical can that will maximize its volume given a fixed amount of material. It is a common problem in optimization and engineering.
The main factors involved in the Optimization cylindrical can Problem are the height and radius of the can, and the amount of material available to make the can. Other factors may include cost, strength, and practicality.
The formula for calculating the volume of a cylindrical can is V = πr2h, where V is volume, r is the radius, and h is the height.
The steps for solving the Optimization cylindrical can Problem are: 1) Define the objective function (in this case, the volume of the can); 2) Identify any constraints (e.g. the amount of material available); 3) Use calculus to find the critical points of the objective function; 4) Evaluate the critical points to determine the maximum volume; 5) Check the endpoints of the possible range of values for the dimensions to ensure the maximum volume has been found.
The Optimization cylindrical can Problem has applications in various industries, such as packaging, manufacturing, and engineering. For example, it can be used to determine the dimensions of a soda can to minimize material waste and production costs. It can also be applied to design more efficient fuel tanks or storage containers.
