Answer: 90.51 square units

Explanation:

1) The rectangle has one length on the x-axis.

2) Call x, the x-coordinate of the right lower corner of the rectangle.

And the point is (x,0)

3) The x-coordinate of the lef lower corner will be - x.

And the point is (-x,0)

4) The right upper point of the rectangle will be (x,y) where y = 24 - x²

5) The left upper point of the rectangle will be (-x,y) where y = 24 - x² .

6) The area of such rectantle is the length of the base times the length of the height.

The length of the base is 2x

The lenght of the height is y

So, the area is A = 2x(y) = 2x(24 - x²) = 48x - 2x³

7) Now to find the maximum area you have to derivate the function and make it equal to zero:

dA
---- = A' = 48 - 6x² = 0 =>
dx

4x² = 48 => x² = 48/6 = 8 =>

x = (+/-)√8

Then, y = 24 - x² = 24 - (√8)² = 24 - 8 = 16

8) Therefore the area of the rectangle is

A = 2x(y) = 2(√8)(16) = 90.51.

9) You can see if x is a greater or smaller.

For example x = 2 and x = 3

x = 2 => y = 24 - (2)² = 20 => A = 2(2)(20) = 80 which is less than 90.51

x = 3 => y = 24 - (3)² = 15 => A = 2(3)(15) = 90 which is less than 90.51

So, that tells you that your result should be right.

Answer:

12/25 or 48% or 0.48

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 even numbers.

25 is good for percentages because you can just multiply it by four to get to 100

A rectangular pool has a sidewalk around it. The pool measures 6 feet by 10 feet and the total area of the pool and sidewalk is
Otrada [13]

Answer:

width of the sidewalk = 1 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the pool = length × width

Length = 10 feet

Width = 6 feet

Area of the pool = length × width

= 10 feet × 6 feet

= 60 feet²

Area of the pool = 60 feet²

Total area = Area of the pool + Area of sidewalk

96 feet² = 60 feet ² + Area of sidewalk

Area of sidewalk = 96 feet² - 60 feet ²

Area of sidewalk = 36 feet²

Length of pool + sidewalk = 10 + 2x

width of pool + sidewalk = 6 + 2x

( 10 + 2 x ) ( 6 + 2 x ) -60 = 36

60 + 20x + 12x + 4x² - 60 = 36

4x² + 32x - 36 = 0

4x² + 36x - 4x - 36 = 0

4x (x + 9) -4(x + 9) = 0

(4x - 4) (x + 9) = 0

4(x - 1) (x + 9) = 0

(x - 1) = 0 (x + 9) = 0

x = 1 or x = -9

The width of the side walk can't be a negative value

Therefore, width of the sidewalk = 1 feet
