Of all rectangles with a fixed perimeter of p, which one has the maximum area? (give the dimensions in terms of p.)

1 answer:

8 0

<span>For all rectangles with a fixed perimeter of p the rectangle with the maximum area is one where the length is p/4 and the width is p/4, in other words a square. The area of such a rectangle would be (p*p) /16.</span>

Complete the steps to evaluate the following expression, given log3a = −0.631.

Zielflug [23.3K]

$\log _{3}(3)=1$ and $\log _{3} \frac{a}{3}=-1.631$

Solution:

Given value $\log _{3} a=-0.631$ .

To evaluate the expression $\log _{3} \frac{a}{3}$ .

Using logarithmic rule: $\log _{b}\left(\frac{M}{N}\right)=\log _{b}(M)-\log _{b}(N)$

$$\log _{3} \frac{a}{3}=\log _{3}(a)-\log _{3}(3)$

We know that $\log _{3} a=-0.631$ .

$$\log _{3} \frac{a}{3}=-0.631-\log _{3}(3)$

Using another logarithmic rule: $\log _{b} b=1$

$$\log _{3} \frac{a}{3}=-0.631-1$

$$\log _{3} \frac{a}{3}=-1.631$

Hence $\log _{3}(3)=1$ and $\log _{3} \frac{a}{3}=-1.631$ .

A rectangular prism has a volume of 360 in3. If the height measures 6in. which base measurements could the prism have?

Daniel [21]

Answer:

Both sides that are parallel ( 6 inches I believe ) would be 12 in total for both sides. Then the top and bottom would be 3 inches ( I believe ) which would be 6. I think you need to do 6 times 12 until you get 360 and then see how many times you multiplied it and that is your answer. But I am not FULLY sure. Hope this helps somehow!

Help this is due tomorrow please! Carter has 88 feet of fencing to enclose a dog pen in his yard. He is trying to decide whether

svet-max [94.6K]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

The circle makes the larger area

The difference in the two areas is roughly 132.2479 square feet.

=================================================

Explanation:

If Carter decides to go for a circle, then 88 is the circumference, which is the distance around the circle (aka perimeter of the circle).

Use this to find the radius needed

C = 2*pi*r

r = C/(2pi)

r = 88/(2pi)

r = 44/pi

I'll leave it in exact form rather than approximate it.

Once we know the radius, we can find the area of the circle.

A = pi*r^2

A = pi(44/pi)^2

A = pi*(1936/(pi^2))

A = 1936/pi

A = 616.247939651819 approximately

I used my calculator's stored version of pi to compute the area in the final step.

We'll be comparing this number later, so hold onto it for now.

-------------------------------------

If Carter instead decides for a square, then 88 is the perimeter since it's the amount of fencing he has to work with.

Divide it into 4 pieces to find the length of each side of the square (all sides are equal in a square)

88/4 = 22

Each side is 22 feet

The area of this square is (22)^2 = 22*22 = 484 square feet

--------------------------------------

Summary:

If Carter goes for a circular enclosure, then he gets roughly 616.2479 square feet.
The square enclosure only gets him exactly 484 square feet.

The circle wins in terms of larger area.

The difference being roughly 616.2479 - 484 = 132.2479 square feet.
