Answer: A 24 cm piece of string is cut into two pieces , one piece is used to form a circle and the other piece is used to form a square.
How should this string be cut so that the sum of the areas is a minimum .
:
Let x = the circumference of the circle
then
(24-x) = the perimeter of the square
:
Find the area of the circle
find r
2*pi*r = x
r =
Find the area of the circle
A =
A =
A = sq/cm, the area of the circle
:
Find the area of the square
A = sq/cm the area of the square
The total area
At = +
Graph this equation, find the min
Min occurs when x=10.6 cm
cut string 10.6 cm from one end

Answer:
4 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let :
Boat speed = 20 mph
speed of current = x mph
Distance against current = 2 miles
Distance with current = 3 miles
speed against current will be ; 20 - x
speed with current will be ; 20 + x
Time =distance / speed against time against = time with current
Solving Mathematically ;
2/(20-x )=3/(20 +x)
2(20+x )= 3( 20-x )
40+2x = 60-3x
3x +2x=20
5x=20
x = 20 / 5
x = 4 mph
Speed of current = 4 mph
