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

of 320 consumers polled, some purchase blu-ray movies, some only purchase movies on dvd, and some do both. if 300 people polled
Helga [31]

Answer:

20 people only buy dvds.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two groups in this problem. One group of people that buys dvds and one that buys blu rays. The total amount of people who buy blu rays is 300, but there's an intersection between the groups and the size of this is 280 people who actually buy both. In order to find out how many people only buy DVDs we first need to figure out how many only buy blu-rays. That is:

people who only buy blu rays = people who buy blu rays - people who buys blu rays and dvds

people who only buy blu rays = 300 - 280 = 20

We can now calculate the amount of people who only buy dvds and that is:

people who only buy dvds =total amount of people - ( people who only buy blu rays + people who buy both)

people who only buy dvds = 320 - (20 + 280) = 320 - 300 = 20 people

A home has a living room that is 14 ft. wide, 22 ft. long, and a height of 9ft. Bob needs to paint
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the volume of the room in ft³ and that will give

14×22×9=2772ft³

There are deductions. Hence we subtract them from this value

3×5=15, but there are two, hence 15×2=30ft²

And 4×7=28ft²

Hence 2772-(30+28)=2714

Dividing this value by 320 gives

8.4(to 2s.f)
