I know that for a fixed perimeter, the shape that encloses the greatest area
is a circle, and the rectangle that encloses the greatest area is a square. 
Sadly, I don't know how to prove it to you without Calculus.

If you'll take my assertion that the greatest rectangle is a square, and accept
it on faith, then you should use your 160-yd of fence to enclose a square with
40-yd sides.  The area inside it is (40 x 40) = <em><u>1600 square yards</u></em><u>.</u>

Here are some other choices. 
Each one has the same perimeter ... 160 yards.
This table kind of suggests to you that a square is the rectangle
       with the greatest area.  (But it doesn't prove it.)

<u>Length</u>         <u>Width</u>         <u>Area</u>
  35-yd           45-yd         1,575 square yards              
  30                50              1,500
  25                55              1,375
  20                60              1,200
  15                65                 975
  10                70                 700
    5                75                 375
    3                77                 231
    2                78                 156
    1                79                   79
  2-ft           79-yd 1-ft           52.89
  1-ft           79-yd 2-ft           26.56
  1-inch      79-yd 35-in          2.19 square yards

With the same 160-yd of fence, you could have squeezed in some more
area by setting the fence down in a circle with circumference = 160-yd.
The area inside the circle would be

       Area = (pi) (radius)² = (circumference)² / (4 pi) = 2,037.2 square yards

The area of a circle is always (4 / pi) times the area of the square with the
same perimeter.  That's about 27.3% more area than the square.

To optimize the area, the shape should be a square.  Clearly, with 160 yards of fencing, the square will have side-length 160/4=40 yards.  Therefore, the area will be 40*40=1600 yards.

Help!
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The greatest common factor of 42, 60 and 78 is  6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given numbers are : 42, 60 and 78

On Prime Factorization of the given terms, we get:

42 = 2 x 3 x 7

60 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5

78  = 2 x 3 x 13

The common factors to all these three terms is   2 x 3  = 6

Hence, the greatest common factor of 42, 60 and 78 is  6.

Which of the following trigonometric expressions is equivalent to csc(-112°)? csc(68°)
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

csc(-112°)=-csc(68°)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since cosec(x) and sin(x) are reciprocals of each other,

cosec(-112°)=\frac{1}{sin(-112^{\circ})}

                  =\frac{1}{-sin(112^{\circ})}

                 =\frac{1}{-sin(180^{\circ}-68^{\circ})}     (since 112=180-68)

                 =\frac{1}{-sin(68^{\circ})}              (since sin(180-x)=sinx)

                 =\frac{-1}{sin(68^{\circ})}               (since \frac{a}{-b}= \frac{-a}{b})

                 =-cosec(68°)

Find the range, median, and mode of the following dot plot.
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Range: 0.07

Median: 0.145

Mode: none

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Range:</u> largest #- smallest #

<u>Median:</u> middle number (when numbers are in order least to greatest) or when two are middle number you add them, and divide by two

<u>Mode:</u> most occurring number(s) (if there aren't any, no mode)—but if there are multiples such as 2 zeros and 2 ones then 0 and 1 would be the mode
