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)
Answer:
187 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The bottom rectangle area is easy, it is 15*9 = 135 cm².
To find the area of the triangle, you only need the base width and its height (you don't need the hypotenuse). You can then use the formula: area triangle is base times half height.
The base width is 15-7 = 8 cm
The height is 22-9 = 13 cm
So the area of the triangle is 13*8/2 = 52 cm²
Together with the 135 of the rectangle that sums to 52+135 = 187 cm².
Answer:
1, 2, 4
Step-by-step explanation:
- 4 1/12·2 2/3 = 49/12·11/4 = 49/12·33/12 = 1617/144 = 11 11/48 Good
- 2 1/5·6 1/4 = 11/5·25/4 = 44/20·125/20 = 5500/400 = 13 3/4 Good
- 1 1/2·3 1/5 = 3/2·16/5 = 15/10·32/10 = 480/100 = 4.8 Doesn't Work
- 3/4·8 1/5 = 3/4·41/5 = 15/20·164/20 = 2460/400 = 6 3/20 Good
- 5 1/2·5 = 11/2·5 = 55/2 = 27 1/2 Doesn't Work
(Note: Division of big numbers should be done by simplification, although not shown here.)
Answer:
6.66 yards of ribbon.
Step-by-step explanation:
If she has 10 yards of ribbon and divides it equally into three parts, those 3 parts would each be 3.33 yards long or 3 (1/3) yards long.
If she uses two of those parts on gifts, then she would use 3.33 x 2 or 6.66 yards of ribbon.
