Length of the rectangular acting area be x.Width = 42 / xWe asked to find the perimeter ( the number of yard that are needed to enclose the area)P = 2(length + width)    = 2(x + 42/x)   = 2x + 84/x
The perimeter is minimum when the differentiation is equal to 0.2 - 84/x^2 = 02x^2 - 84 = 0x^2 = 42 x = 6.48
Thus, the minimum yards of string lights the manager need to enclose the area is  2(6.48) + 84 / 6.48^2 = 12.96 + 12.96 = 25.92 so it is approximately 26 yards

What is the length of the missing leg
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the pythagorean theorem, we know that a^2+ b^2=c^2

In our case, we know b, which is 5 and c which is 13.

If we plug that into the equation, we get a^2+ 5^2 = 13^2

Next, we simplify the equation. a^2 + 25 = 169

Then we subtract 25 from 169. 169 - 25 = 144.

Lastly, we do the square root of 144 and we get 12 which is the missing side.
