Answer:

54,18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one of the numbers be x. The other number be represented as 36-x

(x-(36-x ) = 36

open brackets

x - 36 + x = 36

x + x = 36+ 36 = 72

2x = 72

x = 72/2 = 36

x = 36

The product can then be represented as y = x(36-x) or y=36x-x²

The maximum or minimum is always on the axis of symmetry which has the formula x=-b/2a.

In our case, the axis of symmetry is -36/-2, so x=18.

If one number is 18 and the 2 numbers differentiate by 36, the other number is 18 + 36 = 54

So the 2 numbers are 18 and 54 and the minimum product is 972

Area of the figure = 30.28 m²

Solution:

The given image is splitted into two shapes.

One is rectangle and the other is semi-circle.

Length of the rectangle = 6 m

Width of the rectangle = 4 m

Area of the rectangle = length × width

= 6 m × 4 m

= 24 m²

Area of the rectangle = 24 m²

Diameter of the semi-circle = 4 m

Radius of the semi-circle = 4 m ÷ 2 = 2 m

Area of the semi-circle = $\frac{1}{2} \ \pi r^2$

$$=\frac{1}{2} \times 3 .14 \times 2^2$

$=6.28$

Area of the semi-circle = 6.28 m²

Area of the figure = Area of the rectangle + Area of the semi-circle

= 24 m² + 6.28 m²

= 30.28 m²

Area of the figure = 30.28 m²
