Find the dimensions of a rectangle with perimeter 112 m whose area is as large as possible. step 1 if a rectangle has dimensions

x and y, then we must maximize the area a = xy. since the perimeter is 2x + 2y = 112, then y = 56

Please use the solution below:
Let P = perimeter, A = area
As provided above, a = xy and 
We know that the formula to solve for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2x + 2y. Using the given 112m, we can solve the perimeter using the formula:
112 = 2x + 2y
56 = x + y

x = 56-y or y = 56-x
Let's solve the perimeter in terms of y using the formula below:
A = (56-y)(y)
Find the derivative of A = 56-y^2 to get the value of y.
dA/dy = 56-2y = 0
y = 56/2
y = 28
To find X, substitute the value of y in the equation x = 56 - y. 
x = 56 - 28
Therefore, x = 28.
We can conclude that the figure is not a rectangle but a square.

A standard letter-sized piece of paper has a length and width of 8.5 inches by 11 inches.
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Area of the resulting rectangle = 23.375 inch²

Step-by-step explanation:

After 1 fold width or length reduces to half.

Area = Length x width

So after 1 fold area will reduce to half.

So we have

              \texttt{Area after n folds =}\frac{\texttt{Initial area}}{2^{\texttt{number of folds}}}

Initial area = 8.5 x 11 = 93.5 inch²

Here the paper were folded completely in half, length is reduced to half and width reduced to half, that is

Number of folds = 2

\texttt{Area after 2 folds =}\frac{\texttt{Initial area}}{2^{2}}\\\\\texttt{Area after 2 folds =}\frac{93.5}{4}=23.375inch^2

Area after 2 folds = 23.375 inch²

Area of the resulting rectangle = 23.375 inch²

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

0.925 or 92.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

y=a(1-b)^x

decay factor is 1-b <- and the part we care about

b is 7.5%=0.075

1-0.075

=0.925

I'm a little rusty on exponential rates, but I hope this helps!

What is the name of the intersection point? Explain.
MariettaO [177]
<h3>Answer: Midpoint</h3>

Explanation:

The drawings you made are constructions of the perpendicular bisector. The "perpendicular" refers to the fact the second line meets the first line at a right angle (aka 90 degree angle). The "bisector" portion indicates the segment has been bisected, which is mathematical way of saying "cut in half".

The key here is the "bisector" portion. Because we've cut a segment like AB in half, this means segment AC and CB are the same length. The point C is the midpoint of AB. Point C is formed by intersecting the perpendicular bisector and the original segment. I'm referring to drawing (a), but the same idea applies to drawing (b) as well. I recommend using another letter than C for the second drawing.
