Answer:

The length and width of the plot that will maximize the area of the rectangular plot are 54 ft and 27 ft respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The length of fencing of the rectangular plot is = 108 ft.

Let the longer side of the rectangular plot be x which is also the side along the river side and the width of the rectangular plot be y.

Since the fence along the river does not need.

So the total perimeter of the rectangle is =2(x+y) -x

                                                                    =2x+2y-y

                                                                    =x+2y

So,

x+2y =108

⇒x=108 -2y

Then the area of the rectangle plot is A = xy

A=xy

⇒A= (108-2y)y

⇒ A = 108y-2y²

A = 108y-2y²

Differentiating with respect to x

A'= 108 -4y

Again differentiating with respect to x

A''= -4

For maximum or minimum, A'=0

108 -4y=0

⇒4y=108

\Rightarrow y=\frac{108}{4}

⇒y=27.

A''|_{y=27}=-4

Since at y= 27, A''<0

So, at y=27 ft , the area of the rectangular plot maximum.

Then x= (108-2.27)

          =54 ft.

The length and width of the plot that will maximize the area of the rectangular plot are 54 ft and 27 ft respectively.

Answer:

  • area: 524 cm²
  • perimeter: 124.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangle in the middle has a width equal to the radius of the semicircular ends, so (20 cm)/2 = 10 cm.

The semicircular ends, together, make a complete circle of radius 10 cm.

The area is the sum of the areas of the parts:

  A = LW = (21 cm)(10 cm) = 210 cm² . . . . . . rectangle area

  A = πr² = π(10 cm)² = 100π cm² ≈ 314 cm² . . . . . circle area

The total area is ...

  210 cm² +314 cm² = 524 cm² . . . . area of the figure

__

The perimeter of the figure is the sum of the lengths of all of the edges. From the left, working clockwise, we have ...

  P = (1/2 circle of diameter 20) + (rectangle top = 21) +(1/2 circle of diameter 20) +(circle radius = 10) +(rectangle bottom = 21) +(circle radius = 10)

The two 1/2 circles add to a whole circle with a circumference of ...

  C = πd = (3.14)(20 cm) = 62.8 cm

Then the whole perimeter is ...

  P = 62.8 cm + 21 cm + 10 cm + 21 cm + 10 cm = 124.8 cm

_____

Note that we have used 3.14 for pi. If you use a more exact value, your answers will be slightly different.

silo has a volume of 18,840 ft³. The height of the silo is 60 ft. What is the silo's radius? Use 3.14 to approximate ππ .
jek_recluse [69]
To find r, you need to isolate it. pi*r^2*60=18,840. divide 18,840 by 60, then pi, it comes out at 100. Now find the square root to get 10

r=10
