Answer:

Semicircle of radius of 1.6803 meters

Rectangle of dimensions 3.3606m x 1.6803m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the radius of the semicircle on the top=r  

Let the height of the rectangle =h  

Since the semicircle is on top of the window, the width of the rectangular portion =Diameter of the Semicircle =2r

The Perimeter of the Window

=Length of the three sides on the rectangular portion + circumference of the semicircle

=h+h+2r+\pi r=2h+2r+\pi r=12

The area of the window is what we want to maximize.

Area of the Window=Area of Rectangle+Area of Semicircle

=2hr+\frac{\pi r^2}{2}

We are trying to Maximize A subject to 2h+2r+\pi r=12

2h+2r+\pi r=12\\h=6-r-\frac{\pi r}{2}

The first and second derivatives are,

Area, A(r)=2r(6-r-\frac{\pi r}{2})+\frac{\pi r^2}{2}}=12r-2r^2-\frac{\pi r^2}{2}

Taking the first and second derivatives

A'\left( r \right) = 12 - r\left( {4 + \pi } \right)\\A''\left( r \right) =  - 4 - \pi

From the two derivatives above, we see that the only critical point  of r

A'\left( r \right) = 12 - r\left( {4 + \pi } \right)=0

r = \frac{{12}}{{4 + \pi }} = 1.6803

Since the second derivative is a negative constant, the maximum area must occur at this point.

h=6-1.6803-\frac{\pi X1.6803}{2}=1.6803

So, for the maximum area the semicircle on top must have a radius of 1.6803 meters and the rectangle must have the dimensions 3.3606m x 1.6803m ( Recall, The other dimension of the window = 2r)

The figure shows triangle ABC with medians AF, BD, and CE. Segment AF is extended to H in such a way that segment GH is congruen
attashe74 [19]

Answer: Segment GD is parallel to segment HC.

Step-by-step explanation:

In ΔAHC

AG=GH (given)...........1

As BD is the median of ΔABC bisecting AC at D

∴AD=DC.........2

⇒\frac{AD}{DC}=\frac{AG}{GH}=1(from 1 and 2)

⇒segment GD is dividing the sides AH and AC  in same ratio.

Therefore by the converse of Basic proportionality theorem,segment GD is parallel to segment HC.

Converse of basic probability theorem states that if a line divides any two sides of a triangle in the same ratio, then the line must be parallel to the third side.

5x+21+178/(x-7)<br> How do I solve for domain and range on this equation?
Luda [366]
The domain is easiest. You simply need to find the fractions, and exclude any X that makes the denominator zero. So in this case, your domain is everything except X=7.

For range, you are trying to find out what are the possible answers. Usually the best way to do this is to try x=infinity, and x=negative infinity, which here gives you answers of infinity and negative infinity. Since the function is almost continuous, I think your range is any real number.
