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

an umbrella is made by stitching 10 triangular pieces of cloth of two different colours where each pieces measuring 48cm,48cm,an
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first we need to calculate the area of isosceles triangle having sides 48cm, 48cm and 30cm

a = 48

b= 30

Area of isosceles triangle using only sides = ½[√(a^2 − b^2 /4) × b]

= 1/2*30√( 48² - 1/4×30²)

=1/2*30√ (2304 -225)

=684sq cm

cost required to make umbrella= 10*684*5

= 3<em>4200</em>

Find the markup and the selling price of the following item. Round answers to the nearest cent. A chemistry set costing $27.50,
postnew [5]

Let x be marked up price. We have been given that a chemistry set costing $27.50, marked up 32% on cost.

x=27.50\times\frac{32}{100}

x=27.50\times.32

x=8.8

Therefore, mark up price is $8.80.  

Since we know that selling price of any item equals the sum of cost and mark-up price of the item.

Let us find selling price of our chemistry set.  

\text{Selling price of chemistry set}=27.50+8.8

\text{Selling price of chemistry set}=36.30      

Therefore, the selling price of the chemistry set is $ 36.30.
