-- The smallest perimeter you can make with a certain area
is a circle.
-- The NEXT smallest perimeter with the same area is a square.
With 1-ft by 1-ft square bricks, the shortest perimeter she could
make would be by using her bricks to make it as square as possible.
Without cutting bricks into pieces, the best she could do would be
(13 bricks) x (3 bricks) .
= (13-ft) x (3-ft)
Perimeter = (2 x length) + (2 x width)
= (2 x 13-ft) + (2 x 3-ft)
= (26-ft) + (6-ft) = 32 feet <== shortest perimeter.
-- Then, the more UNSQUARE you make it, the more perimeter
it takes to enclose the same area. That means Mary has to make
a rectangle as long and skinny as she can.
The longest perimeter she can make (without cutting bricks into
pieces) is (39 bricks) x (1 brick) .
= (39-ft) x (1-ft) .
Perimeter = (2 x length) + (2 x width)
= (2 x 39-ft) + (2 x 1-ft)
= (78-ft) + (2-ft) = 80 feet .
What she'll have then is a brick path, 39 feet long and 1 foot wide,
and when you walk on it, you'll need to try hard to avoid falling off
because it's only 1 foot wide.
An explicit formula for a sequence allows you to find the value of any term in the sequence. A recursive formula for a sequence allows you to find the value of the nth term in the sequence if you know the value of the (n-1)th term in the sequence.
Answer:
Then the total area is 116 cm^2 which agrees with answer D
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice we need to calculate the area of two rectangles (one larger at the bottom and a smaller one on top)
The Area of a rectangle is the product: base x height
In our case :
Area of Big rectangle = 12 cm x 7 cm = 84 cm^2
Area of smaller rectangle = 8 cm x 4 cm = 32 cm^2
Then the total area is: 84 cm^2 + 32 cm^2 = 116 cm^2
Answer:
$7.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Sara buys a sweater that costs $30
The store is having a 25% off sale.
To figure out what 25% is you do 25/100, which will give you 0.25,
Multiply 0.25 by $30
You should get $7.50.
