Answer:

Length = 50m

Width = 31.84m

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a track = 200m

The perimeter of a track with two semi-circular end and two rectangular regions = P

Perimeter of a semi-circle = ½(2πr)

Length of a rectangle = x

Perimeter of the rectangle = x+x

P = ½(2πr) + ½(2πr)+x + x

P = 2πr + 2x

200 =2πr + 2x

2πr = 200 – 2x

2πr = 2(100 – x)

r = 2(100 – x) / 2π

r = (100-x)/π

total area of the rectangular region =A

A= x(2r)

= (x)2[(100-x)/π]

= 2x[(100-x)/π]

A = (200x – 2x^2)/π

Differentiate A with respect to x

dA/dx = (200 -4x)/π

at critical point, first derivative vanishes(dA/dx = 0)

(200 -4x)/π = 0

-4x =-200

x =-200/-4

x = 50

this means length (x) = 50m

put x=50 into r = (100-x)/π

r= (100-50)/π

r =50/π

width = 2r

width = 2(50/π)

= 2(19.62)

= 31.84m

Michael is buying a pair of jeans that regularly cost $40. They are on sale for 20% off. If the tax rate is 8%, what is the sale
Anna35 [415]

Answer      

Find out the  what is the sale price of the jeans including tax .

To prove

Let us assume that the sale price of the jeans including tax be x .

As given

Michael is buying a pair of jeans that regularly cost $40.

They are on sale for 20% off.

If the tax rate is 8% .

20% is written in the decimal form

= \frac{20}{100}

= 0.20

8% is written in the decimal form

= \frac{8}{100}

= 0.08

Than the equation becomes

x = 40 - 40 × 0.20 + 40 × 0.08

x = 40 - 8 + 3.2

x = 43.2 - 8

x = $35.2

Therefore the sale price of the jeans including tax be $ 35.2 .

Thepotemich [5.8K]

<u>Answer:</u>

The given statement is False statement

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given that Jaime has blown out a number of candles equal to his age on each of his birthday till now and he is 9 years old now so the total number of candles blown by him all his life is given by the

arithmetic series

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 and

not the arithmetic series

0 + 1 + 2 + 3+ 4+ 5+ 6+ 7+ 9 as given

so the given statement is false.
