Answer:

33

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: The Diagonals of the Convex Quadilateral are Mutually Perpendicular this makes the shape a Rhombus Shape

Step 2: The formula for a area of a rhombus is the multiply the two lengths and divide by two.

In this Question we have x×y÷2 or xy/2

Step 3: The sum of the lengths of the diagonals is 12

x+y=12

y=12-x

Therefore, the area, as a function of x alone = x(12-x)/2

Step 4: To find the maximum area, let's find the derivative of the area function in respect to x and then equate to 0.

d/dx(x(12-x)/2)=0

d/dx(12x - x^2) = 0

12-2x=0

12-0=2x

12=2x, divide both sides by 2

x= 6

Step 5: Calculate the Maximum Area

The maximum area will then be 6(12 - 6)/2

= (72-6)/2 = 66/2= 33

So, the maximum area is 33.

Andrews [41]

Answer:

3\frac {6}{25} hrs \ or \ 3 hrs\  14 mins \ 24 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

The question calls requires one to get the product of the given time. Since first debate lasted for :

1\frac {4}{5} \ hrs

-and the second lasted

1\frac {4}{5} hrs times more than the first then the second took then the first step will involve converting the mixed fractions into improper fraction which will be:

\frac {9}{5}

-Now multiplying

\frac {9}{5}\times\frac{9}{5}\\\\=\frac{81}{25}=3\frac{6}{25}hrs
