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

Kay [80]

Answer:  The required number of quarters in the collection is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a collection of 20 coins made up of only nickels, dimes and quarters has a total value of $3.35.

If the dimes were nickels, the nickels were quarters and the quarters were dimes, the collection of coins would have a total value of $2.75.

We are to find the number of quarters in the collection.

Let x, y and z represents the number of nickels, dimes and quarters respectively in the collection.

We will be using the following values of nickels, dimes and quarters in form of dollar :

1 nickel = $ 0.05,   1 dime = $ 0.10   and    1 quarter = $0.25.

Then, according to the given information, we have

x+y+z=20\\\\\Rightarrow x=20-y-z~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\0.05x+0.10y+0.25z=3.35\\\\\Rightarrow 5x+10y+25z=335\\\\\Rightarrow x+2y+5z=67~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)\\\\0.05y+0.25x+0.10z=2.75\\\\\Rightarrow 5y+25x+10z=275\\\\\Rightarrow y+2z+5x=55~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(iii)

Substituting the value of x from equation (i) in equations (ii) and (iii), we have

(20-y-z)+2y+5z=67\\\\\Rightarrow y+4z=47\\\\\Rightarrow y=47-4z~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(iv)

and

y+2z+5(20-y-z)=55\\\\\Rightarrow -4y-3z=-45\\\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{45-3z}{4}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(v)

Comparing the values of y from equations (iv) and (v), we get

47-4z=\dfrac{45-3z}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow 188-16z=45-3z\\\\\Rightarrow 16z-3z=188-45\\\\\Rightarrow 13z=143\\\\\Rightarrow z=\dfrac{143}{13}\\\\\Rightarrow z=11.

Thus, the required number of quarters in the collection is 11.
