What is the maximum area for a rectangle whose perimeter is 48 meters?

Mathematics
1 answer:
MakcuM [25]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

12m²

Step-by-step explanation:

For a rectangle, with length L and width W,

the perimeter is given as

Perimeter,

P = (2 x Length)  + (2 x Width)

P = 2L + 2W

It is given that the perimeter is 48, hence

48 = 2L + 2W   (divide both sides by 2)

24 = L + W

or

L = 24 - W -----> eq 1

Also realize that the Area of a Rectangle is given by

A = L x W  -----> eq 2

Substituting eq 1 into eq 2,

A = (24 - W) x W

A = -W² + 24W

Recall that for a quadratic equation y = ax² + bx + c, the maxima or minima is given by y(max) =  -b/2a

In this case, b = 24 and a = -1

-b/2a = -24/[ 2(-1) ] = 12

Hence for A to be maximum A(max) = 12m² (Answer)

Use the substitution method to solve the following system of equations:
Ivenika [448]
Using the first equation:
4x = y + 3   --->   y = 4x - 3
We then substitute this into the second equation:
7x - 9(4x-3) = -2   --->   7x - 9x + 27 = -2   --->   -2x = -29   --->   x = 14.5

Can someone please help me with the question, a/4 = 15/12 a=?
malfutka [58]

Answer:

a = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

a/4 = 15/12

We can use cross products to solve

a* 12 = 4*15

12a = 60

Divide each side by 12

12a/12 = 60/12

a =5

Morgan uses 2 oz of dog shampoo to bathe her dog each week. After 4 wk, 34 oz of shampoo remains.
Flauer [41]
The amount of shampoo required by Morgan each week to bathe her dog = 2 oz
So
The amount of shampoo required by Morgan in 7 days to bathe her dog = 2 oz
The amount of shampoo remaining after 4 weeks = 34 oz
So the amount of shampoo remaining after (4 * 7) days = 34 oz
The amount of shampoo remaining after 28 days = 34 oz
The amount of shampoo that Morgan uses in 28 days = (2/7) * 28 oz
                                                                                      = 2 * 4 oz
                                                                                      = 8 oz
Then
8 oz of shampoo is required by Morgan in = 28 days
Then
34 oz of shampoo will be used in = (28/8) * 34 days
                                                      = 7 * 17 days
                                                      = 119 days
So
The total number of
days before the bottle becomes empty = 119 + 8 oz
                                                               = 127 days

Evaluate the surface integral ∫sf⋅ ds where f=⟨2x,−3z,3y⟩ and s is the part of the sphere x2 y2 z2=16 in the first octant, with
skad [1K]

Parameterize S by the vector function

\vec s(u,v) = \left\langle 4 \cos(u) \sin(v), 4 \sin(u) \sin(v), 4 \cos(v) \right\rangle

with 0 ≤ u ≤ π/2 and 0 ≤ v ≤ π/2.

Compute the outward-pointing normal vector to S :

\vec n = \dfrac{\partial\vec s}{\partial v} \times \dfrac{\partial \vec s}{\partial u} = \left\langle 16 \cos(u) \sin^2(v), 16 \sin(u) \sin^2(v), 16 \cos(v) \sin(v) \right\rangle

The integral of the field over S is then

\displaystyle \iint_S \vec f \cdot d\vec s = \int_0^{\frac\pi2} \int_0^{\frac\pi2} \vec f(\vec s) \cdot \vec n \, du \, dv

\displaystyle = \int_0^{\frac\pi2} \int_0^{\frac\pi2} \left\langle 8 \cos(u) \sin(v), -12 \cos(v), 12 \sin(u) \sin(v) \right\rangle \cdot \vec n \, du \, dv

\displaystyle = 128 \int_0^{\frac\pi2} \int_0^{\frac\pi2} \cos^2(u) \sin^3(v) \, du \, dv = \boxed{\frac{64\pi}3}

FInd the GCF of the numbers using prime factorizations.
lesya [120]

Answer:

GCF(330, 75, 450, 225) = 15

Steps:

Prime factorization of the numbers:

330 = 2 × 3 × 5 × 11

75 = 3 × 5 × 5

450 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5

225 = 3 × 3 × 5 × 5

GCF(330, 75, 450, 225)

= 3 × 5

= 15
