A rancher wants to build a rectangular pen with an area of 36 m2.

Mathematics
1 answer:
MakcuM [25]3 years ago
3 0

a).  If the width is 'w' and the area is 36, then the length is  36/w.
The amount of fencing required is 2 lengths + 2 widths (the perimeter).
That's  <em>2w + 72/w</em>  or  <em>(2/w)(w²+36)</em>  or<em>  2(w + 36/w) </em>.

b).  The shape that requires the minimum amount of fencing is a circle
with area = 36 m² .  The radius of the circle is about 3.385 meters, and
the fence around it is about 21.269 meters.

If the pen must be a rectangle, then the rectangle with the smallest perimeter
that encloses a given area is a square.  For 36 m² of area, the sides of the
square are each <em>6 meters</em>, and the perimeter needs 24 meters of fence to
enclose it.

I don't know how to prove either of these factoids without using calculus.

How to finsd the set of numbers if the mean, median and mode is given
Bad White [126]

Answer:

a) we have the numbers 0, 2, 3, 5, 5. The mean and the median are both 3

b) we have the numbers 0, 0, 3, 5, 7. The mean and the median are both 3

In both cases the mean and the median are 3, but the mode differs. The mean and the median do not uniquely determine the mode.

Malik wanted to make a cube frame out of a long wire 150 cm. If the volume of the cube is 2 197 cm³, is the length of the wire s
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

The wire is sufficient for making a cube of volume 2197 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of cube = L³

Volume of the cube = 2197 cm³

Length of the wire = 150 cm

Let's see if the wire is sufficient for making a cube.

Volume of the cube that could be made from the wire is:

V = (L)³

V = (150)³

V = 3,375,000 cm³

So,

The volume of the cube using a 150 cm length wire is much more grater than 2197 cm³.

That is why, the wire is sufficient for making a cube of volume 2197 cm³.
