If the perimeter is always 36 cm, how could you draw the rectangle so that it has the maximum area?

Answer:

Draw it with 9 cm for length and width.

Step-by-step explanation:

The product is the maximum area when the length and width are as close as possible, or equal to each other. Because length and width are 2 sides each, we can divide 36 by 4, which is 9.

9x9 = 81 cm^2. This is the largest area possible.

What is the area of a sector with measure of arc equal to 90Á and radius equal to 1 foot? 0.25pi sq. ft. 0.5pi sq. ft. pi sq. ft
Semmy [17]
<span>Given a circle with radius r = 8 and a sector with subtended angle measuring 45°, find the area of the sector and the arc length.

They've given me the radius and the central angle, so I can just plug into the formulas. For convenience, I'll first convert "45°" to the corresponding radian value of π/4:
 
A = ((pi/4)/2)(8^2) = (pi/8)(8^2) = 8pi, s = (pi/4)(8) = 2pi

area A = 8π, arc-length s = 2π
Given a sector with radius r = 3 and a corresponding arc length of 5π, find the area of the sector.

 
For this exercise, they've given me the radius and arc length. From this, I can work backwards to find the subtended angle.
Then I can plug-n-chug to find the sector area.
 5pi = (theta)(3), (theta) = (5/3)pi So the central angle is (5/3)π.
Then the area of the sector is:
 A = ((5/3)pi / 2)*(3^2) = ((5/6)pi)*(9) = (15/2)pi A = (15 pi) / 2

How much of a radioactive kind of thorium will be left after 14,680 years if you start with
babymother [125]

Answer:

8978 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to find the half-life is:

N(t)= N_{0}e^{-kt}

N(t) = amount after the time <em>t</em>

N_{0} = initial amount of substance

t = time

It is known that after a half-life there will be twice less of a substance than what it intially was. So, we can get a simplified equation that looks like this, in terms of half-lives.

N(t)= N_{0}e^{-\frac{ln(\frac{1}{2}) }{t_{h} } t} or more simply N(t)= N_{0}(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{1}{t_{h} } }

t_{h} = time of the half-life

We know that N_{0} = 35,912, t = 14,680, and t_{h}=7,340

Plug these into the equation:

N(t) = 35912(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{14680}{7340} }

Using a calculator we get:

N(t) = 8978

Therefore, after 14,680 years 8,978 grams of thorium will be left.
