A graphic designer wants to create a rectangular graphic that has a 2-inch margin on each side and a 4-inch margin on the top an

d the bottom. The design, including the margins, should have an area of 392 square inches. What overall dimensions will
maximize the size of the design, excluding the margins?
(Hint: If one side of the design is x, then the other side is
392 divided by x.)

The area of a shape is the amount of space the shape can occupy.

The dimension that maximizes the design is 20 inches by 20 inches

From the question, we have:

Area = 392in^2

Let the length and width of the graphic (without the margin) be l and w.

So, the dimension of the whole graphic is:

L = l + 2 + 2 = l +4

W = w + 4 + 4 = w +8

The area is then calculated as:

Area = L \times W

Area = (l + 4)  \times (w + 8)

Substitute Area = 392in^2

392 = (l + 4) \times (w + 8)

Make l + 4, the subject

l + 4 =\frac{392}{w + 8}

Subtract 4 from both sides

l  =\frac{392}{w + 8} - 4

The area of the design is:

A= lw

So, we have:

A  =(\frac{392}{w + 8} - 4)w

A  =\frac{392w}{w + 8} - 4w

Plot the graph of A  =\frac{392w}{w + 8} - 4w

From the graph (see attachment), the maximum is at:

(w,A) = (20,200)

Substitute (w,A) = (20,200) in A= lw

200 = l \times 20

Divide both sides by 20

l = 20

Hence, the dimension that maximizes the design (<em>excluding the margin</em>) is 20 inches by 20 inches

The following figure shows A ABC with side lengths to the nearest tenth.
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

17.7

Step-by-step explanation:

angle B = 180 - 81 - 65 = 34 degrees

as the sum of all angles in any triangle is always 180 degrees.

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

the sides are always on the opposite side of the angle.

so,

10/sin(34) = AB/sin(81)

AB = 10×sin(81) / sin(34) = 17.7

PLZ HLP Given the equation 5x + y = 7, which equation below would cause a consistent-independent system?
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

the equation D ) would cause a consistent-independent system.

Step-by-step explanation:

A ) 5 x + y = 7  /*( -2 )

    10 x + 2 y = 14

    --------------------

    - 10 x - 2 y = - 14

      10 x + 2 y = 14

   ------------------------

       0 x = 0  ( Dependent system )

B ) 5 x + y = 7  / *  3

    - 15 x - 3 y = - 6

    --------------------------

    15 x + 3 y  = 21

    - 15 x - 3 y = - 6

  -------------------------

        0 x = 15 ( Inconsistent system )

C )   5 x + y = 7

       5 x + y = - 7  / * ( - 1 )

       ---------------------------

       5 x + y = 7

      - 5 x - y = 7

    ------------------

        0 x = 14  ( Inconsistent system )

D ) 5 x + y = 7  / * ( - 2 )

     6 x + 2 y = 7

     ------------------

      - 10 x - 2 y = - 14

        6 x   + 2 y = 7

      -----------------------

       - 4 x = - 7;     x = 7/4;   y = - 7/4

Marcus sorts his 85 baseball cards into stacks of 9 cards each.How many stacks of 9 cards can Marcus make?4th grade homework
laiz [17]
9 stacks of cards and 4 cards left over because when you divide 85 by 9 you get 9.4. So you'd multiply just 9 to get 81 and 4 cards leftover
