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

Mathematics
1 answer:
MakcuM [25]3 years ago

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)

8. complementary angles = 90°
3x+3+10x-4 = 90
13x-1 = 90
13x = 91
so x = 91/13= 7
then K = 3(7)+3 = 24°
so L = 10(7)-4 = 70-4 = 66°

9. P is three less than twice of Q
so P = 2Q-3
supplementary angles = 180°

P+Q = 180
(2Q-3)+Q = 180
3Q-3 = 180
3Q = 183
so Q = 183/3 = 61°
then P= 2(61)-3 = 122-3 = 119°

10. B is two more than three times of C so B= 3C+2
complementary angles = 90°

B+C= 90
(3C+2)+C=90
4C+2=90
4C= 88
so C= 22°
then B = 3(22)+2= 66+2 = 68°
