Answer:

Dimensions: 1.68 ft × 3.36 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the radius

Arc length = 3.14x

Width = 2x

Height = [12 - (2x) - 3.14x]/2

= 6 - 2.57x

Area = 3.14x²/2 + 2x(6 - 2.57x)

Area = 12x - 3.57x²

dA/dx = 12 - 7.14x = 0

x = 1.6806722689

Width = 2x

= 3.361344538

Height = 6 - 2.57x

= 1.6806722689

Answer:

Side lengths = 1.68 ft and width = 3.36 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side lengths of the window be L and the width = 2r ( r is also the radius of the semi-circle).

So we have

Perimeter = 2L + 2r + πr = 12

Area = 2rL + 0.5πr^2

From the first equation

2L = 12 - 2r - πr

Substitute for 2L in the equation for the area:

A = r(12 - 2r -  πr) + 0.5πr^2

A = 12r - 2r^2 -  πr^2 + 0.5πr^2

A =  12r - 2r^2 - 0.5πr^2

We need to find  r for the maximum area:

Finding the derivative and equating to zero:

A' = 12 - 4r -  πr = 0=

4r + πr = 12

r = 12 / ( 4 +  π)

r = 1.68 ft.

So the  width of the window = 2 * 1.68 = 3.36 ft.

Now  2L = 12 - 2r - πr

=  12 - 2*1.68 - 1.68π

= 3.36

L = 1.68.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

There may be 1 or 3 tricycles in the parking lot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since at any point in time, there could be bicycles, tricycles, and cars in the school parking lot, and today, there are 53 wheels in total, if there are 15 bicycles, tricycles, and cars in total, to determine how many tricycles could be in the parking lot, the following calculation must be performed:

13 x 4 + 1 x 3 + 1 x 2 = 57

11 x 4 + 1 x 3 + 3 x 2 = 53

10 x 4 + 3 x 3 + 2 x 2 = 53

8 x 4 + 5 x 3 + 2 x 2 = 51

10 x 2 + 1 x 3 + 4 x 4 = 39

9 x 3 + 1 x 2 + 5 x 4 = 49

Therefore, there may be 1 or 3 tricycles in the parking lot.
