Find the dimensions and maximum area of a rectangle, if it’s perimeter is 24 inches

1 answer:

6 0

Perimeter = 24

triangle perimeter = 2W + 2L

24= 2W + 2L

12 = W + L

L= 12-W

AREA = W*L

AREA = (W)(12-W)
A = 12W-W^2

maximum occurs when you take the derivative

d/dw=12-2w = 0
w=6

after this i think we can say 6 * 6 = 36 is the maximum area.. not to sure, havent done a problem like this in a while

hope this helps

or if we know what w=6 we can find L

L = 12-w which we still get 6<span />

Is 4 to 7 the same as 7 to 4? Explain why or<br> why not?

Gnom [1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

4 times of 7 (7 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 28) is the same as 7 times of 4 (4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 28)

4^7 (4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 = 16384) is not the same as 7^4 (7 x 7 x 7 x 7 = 2401)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To make caffe mocha, LaVelle uses one ounce of chocolate syrup,and five ounces of coffee

To make 6 ounces of caffe mocha (one ounce of chocolate syrup plus 5 ounces of coffe), LaVelle uses one ounce of chocolate syrup,and five ounces of coffee

using proportion

Find out how many ounces of coffee does she need to make 48 ounces of caffe mocha

Let

x ---> ounces of coffee needed to make 48 ounces of caffe mocha

$\frac{6}{5}\ \frac{oz\ caffe\ mocha}{oz\ coffee} =\frac{48}{x}\ \frac{oz\ caffe\ mocha}{oz\ coffee}\\\\x=48(5)/6\\\\x=40\ oz\ coffee$
