<span>Maximum area = sqrt(3)/8
Let's first express the width of the triangle as a function of it's height.
If you draw an equilateral triangle, then a rectangle using one of the triangles edges as the base, you'll see that there's 4 regions created. They are the rectangle, a smaller equilateral triangle above the rectangle, and 2 right triangles with one leg being the height of the rectangle and the other 2 angles being 30 and 60 degrees. Let's call the short leg of that triangle b. And that makes the width of the rectangle equal to 1 minus twice b. So we have
w = 1 - 2b
b = h/sqrt(3)
So
w = 1 - 2*h/sqrt(3)
The area of the rectangle is
A = hw
A = h(1 - 2*h/sqrt(3))
A = h*1 - h*2*h/sqrt(3)
A = h - 2h^2/sqrt(3)
We now have a quadratic equation where A = -2/sqrt(3), b = 1, and c=0.
We can solve the problem by using a bit of calculus and calculating the first derivative, then solving for 0. But since this is a simple quadratic, we could also take advantage that a parabola is symmetrical and that the maximum value will be the midpoint between it's roots. So let's use the quadratic formula and solve it that way. The 2 roots are 0, and 1.5/sqrt(3).
The midpoint is
(0 + 1.5/sqrt(3))/2 = 1.5/sqrt(3) / 2 = 0.75/sqrt(3)
So the desired height is 0.75/sqrt(3).
Now let's calculate the width:
w = 1 - 2*h/sqrt(3)
w = 1 - 2* 0.75/sqrt(3) /sqrt(3)
w = 1 - 2* 0.75/3
w = 1 - 1.5/3
w = 1 - 0.5
w = 0.5
The area is
A = hw
A = 0.75/sqrt(3) * 0.5
A = 0.375/sqrt(3)
Now as I said earlier, we could use the first derivative. Let's do that as well and see what happens.
A = h - 2h^2/sqrt(3)
A' = 1h^0 - 4h/sqrt(3)
A' = 1 - 4h/sqrt(3)
Now solve for 0.
A' = 1 - 4h/sqrt(3)
0 = 1 - 4h/sqrt(3)
4h/sqrt(3) = 1
4h = sqrt(3)
h = sqrt(3)/4
w = 1 - 2*(sqrt(3)/4)/sqrt(3)
w = 1 - 2/4
w = 1 -1/2
w = 1/2
A = wh
A = 1/2 * sqrt(3)/4
A = sqrt(3)/8
And the other method got us 0.375/sqrt(3). Are they the same? Let's see.
0.375/sqrt(3)
Multiply top and bottom by sqrt(3)
0.375*sqrt(3)/3
Multiply top and bottom by 8
3*sqrt(3)/24
Divide top and bottom by 3
sqrt(3)/8
Yep, they're the same.
And since sqrt(3)/8 looks so much nicer than 0.375/sqrt(3), let's use that as the answer.</span>
So the question ask to calculate and find the equation that could represent the graph that is shown in your problem. In getting the answer to this, you must use the formula of the slope intercept form and get the value of the slope. So the answer would be letter D. y=x+3.
Answer:
(0,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
2:4 means one part is 2/(2+4)=1/3 of AB and the other part is 2/3 of AB
Add 1/3 of the distance from -2 to 4. (1/3)(4+2)=2. -2+2=0 The x coordinate is 0
Subtract 1/3 of the distance from 6 to -6, (1/3)6+6)=4 6-4=2 The y coordinate is 2
The point is (0,2)
