<span>To minimize the perimeter you should always have a square.
sqrt(289) = 17
The dimensions should be 17 X 17
To see , try starting at length 1, and gradually increase the length.
The height decreases at a faster rate than the length increases, up until you reach a square.
Or if you want to use algebra, Say the width is 17-x
Then the length is 289/(17-x)
Now, this is bigger than 17+x, as shown here:
289/(17-x) > 17+x
289 > 289 - x^2
which is true.
so the perimeter would be bigger than 2 * (17- x + 17 + x) = 2 * (2 * 17) = 4 * 17
Again, the dimensions should be a square. 17 X 17.</span>
Answer:
8+4×z=36
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is an illustration of volume, and the amount of water in the bucket at 45% full is 2.25 gallons
<h3>How to determine the amount of water?</h3>
The capacity of the bucket is given as:
Bucket = 5 gallons
At 45% full, we have:
Capacity = 45% * 5 gallons
Evaluate the product
Capacity = 2.25 gallons
Hence, the amount of water in the bucket at 45% full is 2.25 gallons
