Answer: The area of wyoming is <em><u> $A=1.008\times 10^{5}\, miles^{2}$ </u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of wyoming is rectangular with length , $L=3.6\times 10^{2}\, miles$

and height , $H=2.8\times 10^{2}\, miles$

Area of rectangle , $A=L\times W$

=> $A=(3.6\times 10^{2})\times (2.8\times 10^{2})\, miles^{2}$

=> $A=1.008\times 10^{5}\, miles^{2}$

Thus the area of wyoming is $A=1.008\times 10^{5}\, miles^{2}$

Assuming a regularly shaped rectangle, the formula for the area is given as:

A = L * W

where L and W are the length and width respectively

A = 3.6 x 10^2 miles * 2.8 x 10^2 miles

A = 100,800 square miles

or

<span>A = 10.08 x 10^2 miles</span>

A school wishes to enclose its rectangular playground using 480 meters of fencing.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Part a) $A(x)=(-x^2+240x)\ m^2$

Part b) The side length x that give the maximum area is 120 meters

Part c) The maximum area is 14,400 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

Part a) Find a function that gives the area A(x) of the playground (in square meters) in terms of x

we know that

The perimeter of the rectangular playground is given by

$P=2(L+W)$

we have

$P=480\ m\\L=x\ m$

substitute

$480=2(x+W)$

solve for W

$240=x+W\\W=(240-x)\ m$

<u><em>Find the area of the rectangular playground</em></u>

The area is given by

$A=LW$

we have

$L=x\ m\\W=(240-x)\ m$

substitute

$A=x(240-x)\\A=-x^2+240x$

Convert to function notation

$A(x)=(-x^2+240x)\ m^2$

Part b) What side length x gives the maximum area that the playground can have?

we have

$A(x)=-x^2+240x$

This function represent a vertical parabola open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)

The vertex represent a maximum

The x-coordinate of the vertex represent the length that give the maximum area that the playground can have

Convert the quadratic equation into vertex form

$A(x)=-x^2+240x$

Factor -1

$A(x)=-(x^2-240x)$

Complete the square

$A(x)=-(x^2-240x+120^2)+120^2$

$A(x)=-(x^2-240x+14,400)+14,400$

$A(x)=-(x-120)^2+14,400$

The vertex is the point (120,14,400)

therefore

The side length x that give the maximum area is 120 meters

Part c) What is the maximum area that the playground can have?

we know that

The y-coordinate of the vertex represent the maximum area

The vertex is the point (120,14,400) -----> see part b)

therefore

The maximum area is 14,400 square meters

Verify

$x=120\ m$

$W=(240-120)=120\ m$

The playground is a square

$A=120^2=14,400\ m^2$

1. Find the cost of levelling the ground in the form of a triangle having the sides 51 m, 37 m and 20 m at the rate of ₹ 3 per m

Flauer [41]

1. Find the cost of levelling the ground in the form of a triangle having the sides 51 m, 37 m and 20 m at the rate of ₹ 3 per m².

a = 51 m, b = 37 m, c = 20 m

semiperimeter: p = (51+37+20):2 = 54 m

Area of triangle:

$A=\sqrt{p(p-a)(p-b)(p-c)}\\\\A=\sqrt{54(54-51)(54-37)(54-20)}\\\\A=\sqrt{54\cdot3\cdot17\cdot34}\\\\A=\sqrt{9\cdot2\cdot3\cdot3\cdot17\cdot17\cdot2}\\\\A=3\cdot2\cdot3\cdot17\\\\A=306\,m^2$

Rate: ₹ 3 per m².

Cost: ₹ 3•306 = ₹ 918

2. Find the area of the isosceles triangle whose perimeter is 11 cm and the base is 5 cm.

a = 5 cm

a+2b = 11 cm ⇒ 2b = 6 cm ⇒ b = 3 cm

p = 11:2 = 5.5

$A=\sqrt{5.5(5.5-3)^2(5.5-5)}\\\\ A=\sqrt{5.5\cdot(2.5)^2\cdot0.5}\\\\ A=\sqrt{11\cdot0.5\cdot(2.5)^2\cdot0.5}\\\\A=0.5\cdot2.5\cdot\sqrt{11}\\\\A=1.25\sqrt{11}\,cm^2\approx4.146\,cm^2$

3. Find the area of the equilateral triangle whose each side is 8 cm.

a = b = c = 8 cm

p = (8•3):2 = 12 cm

$A=\sqrt{12(12-8)^3}\\\\ A=\sqrt{12\cdot4^3}\\\\ A=\sqrt{3\cdot4\cdot4\cdot4^2}\\\\A=4\cdot4\cdot\sqrt{3}\\\\A=16\sqrt3\ cm^2\approx27.713\ cm^2$

4. The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 32 cm. The ratio of the equal side to its base is 3 : 2. Find the area of the triangle.

a = 2x

b = 3x

2x + 2•3x = 32 cm ⇒ 8x = 32 cm ⇒ x = 4 cm ⇒ a = 8 cm, b = 12 cm

p = 32:2 = 16 cm

$A=\sqrt{16(16-8)(16-12)^2}\\\\ A=\sqrt{16\cdot8\cdot4^2}\\\\ A=\sqrt{2\cdot8\cdot8\cdot4^2}\\\\ A=8\cdot4\cdot\sqrt2\\\\ A=32\sqrt2\ cm^2\approx45.2548\ cm^2$

Jerry is planting white daisies and red tulips in his garden and he wants to choose a pattern in which the tulips surround the d

andre [41]

The borders are shown in the picture attached.

As you can see, starting with border 1, we have 6 daises (white squares) surrounded by 10 tulips (colored squares). Through Jerry's expression we expected:
<span>8(b − 1) + 10 =
</span>8(1 − 1) + 10 =
0 + 10 =
10 tulips.

When considering border 2, we expect:
<span>8(b − 1) + 10 =
</span>8(2 − 1) + 10 =
8 + 10 =
<span>18 tulips.
Indeed, we have the 10 tulips from border 1 and 8 additional tulips, for a total of 18 tulips.

Then, consider border 3, we expect:
</span><span>8(b − 1) + 10 =
</span>8(3 − 1) + 10 =
16 + 10 =
26<span> tulips.
Again, this is correct: we have the 10 tulips used in border 1 plus other 16 tulips, for a total of 26.

Therefore, Jerry's expression is correct.</span>
