Answer:

  a)  247.25 cm²

  b)  62.0 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

All of these upper-bound/lower-bound problems are worked the same way. The bounds on the measurement are presumed to be half of one unit of the least-significant digit.

Here, the least significant digit of both numbers is in the "units" place, so the maximum error is presumed to be 1/2 unit, or ±0.5 cm.

If the measurement were 7.36 inches, the least significant digit is in the hundredths place, so the maximum error is presumed to be half a hundredth, or ±0.5 × 0.01 inches = ±0.005 inches.

__

To find the bounds on the measurement, you add or subtract this maximum error from the measurement. So, for the measurements in this problem, the maximum and minimum they can be are ...

  21 cm: minimum of 21 - 0.5 = 20.5 cm; maximum of 21 + 0.5 = 21.5 cm

  11 cm: minimum of 10.5 cm; maximum of 11.5 cm

If you wanted to express these as an inequality, you'd have to remember that half-units are rounded up, so the inequalities would be ...

  20.5 cm ≤ long side < 21.5 cm

  10.5 cm ≤ short side < 11.5 cm

__

a) The area is computed as the product of the rectangle's side length measurements. The area will be a maximum when both measurements are a maximum:

  Amax = (21.5 cm)(11.5 cm)

  Amax = 247.25 cm²

__

b) The perimeter is twice the sum of the lengths of two adjacent sides of the rectangle. The minimum perimeter will be the sum using the minimum side lengths, or ...

  Pmin = 2(20.5 cm +10.5 cm) = 2(31.0 cm)

  Pmin = 62.0 cm

_____

<em>Comment on measurement bounds</em>

You have to remember that these concepts are mathematical in nature, so only an approximation of the real world. If you have ever used a tape measure to measure a distance of any length, you will have discovered a couple of things:

  • different tape measures are different lengths
  • the measurement you make depends on how tight you stretch the tape (and often, on temperature and/or humidity)
  • it is amazingly hard to choose the "nearest" measurement when the value is halfway between marks on the tape. (That is, there is some fuzziness in the boundary between nearest units.)

So, mathematically, there will be very specific definitions and procedures to follow regarding measurement values. In the real world, you have to remember these are only an approximation to reality, hopefully a useful one.

you earn $420 per week. You pay social security taxes of 7.65% federal taxes of 22%, and state taxes of 5.95%. What is your take
Marysya12 [62]
First you need to solve for how much you lose for each individual tax, so 420x.0765 will give you how much money you lose to social security tax, then do the same for the other types and add them together, the value will give you the amount you have lost, so taking the total (420) minus the amount lost you will have the amount that you can "take home" So 420-((420x.0765)+(420x.22)+(420x.0595)) = amount still in your pocket

A corporate attorney has weekends off and has 30 paid vacation days per year, including holidays that fall on weekdays. If his s
snow_tiger [21]

It's slightly ambiguous because the year isn't an even number of weeks, so sometimes that extra day falls on a weekend and sometimes on a weekday.  We'll assume a weekend; that makes the numbers come out nice.

Total working days, 52 five day weeks minus 30 days vacation

d = 52 \times 5 - 30 = 230

So his daily rate is

119600/230 = 520  dollars per day

Answer: A

It's closer to $518 when we count the extra day as a weekday.
