The perimeter of the square is: $20\sqrt2$ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture is attached with the answer.

the diagonal of a square divides it into two right angled-triangles.

We can use one of the triangle to find the length of side as the diagonal will be the hypotenuse of the triangle

Let a be the side of the square, then according to Pythagoras theorem

$d^2=a^2+a^2\\(10)^2 = 2a^2\\2a^2=100$

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2a^2}{2}=\frac{100}{2}\\a^2=50$

Taking Square root on both sides

$\sqrt{a^2}=\sqrt{50}\\a=\sqrt{25*2}\\a=\sqrt{5^2 * 2}\\a=5\sqrt{2}\ ft$

Now,

$P = 4a\\P = 4 * 5\sqrt{2}\\=20\sqrt{2}\ ft$

Hence,

The perimeter of the square is: $20\sqrt2$ ft

F ind the volume under the paraboloid z=9(x2+y2) above the triangle on xy-plane enclosed by the lines x=0, y=2, y=x

Answer:

The answer is 48 units³

Step-by-step explanation:

If we simply draw out the region on the x-y plane enclosed between these lines we realize that,if we evaluate the integral the limits all in all cannot be constants since one side of the triangular region is slanted whose equation is given by y=x. So the one of the limit of one of the integrals in the double integral we need to evaluate must be a variable. We choose x part of the integral to have a variable limit, we could well have chosen y's limits as non constant, but it wouldn't make any difference. So the double integral we need to evaluate is given by,

$V=\int\limits^2_0 {} \, \int\limits^{x=y}_0 {z} \, dx dy\\V=\int\limits^2_0 {} \, \int\limits^{x=y}_0 {9(x^{2}+y^{2})} \, dx dy$

Please note that the order of integration is very important here.We cannot evaluate an integral with variable limit last, we have to evaluate it first.after performing the elementary x integral we get,

$V=9\int\limits^2_0 {4y^{3}/3} \, dy$
