Perimeter (P) = 2 · Length(L) + 2 · Width (W) → P = 2L + 2W
Solve for either L or W (I am solving for L).
200 - 2W = 2L
(200 - 2W)/2 = L
100 - W = L

Area (A) = Length (L) · Width (W)
              = (100 - W) · W
              = 100W - W²

Find the derivative, set it equal to 0, and solve:
dA/dW = 100 - 2W
     0    = 100 - 2W
     W  = 50

refer to the equation above for L: 
100 - W = L
100 - 50 = L
        50  = L

Dimensions for the maximum Area are 50 ft x 50 ft

A metal bar weighs 9.25 ounces. 65% of the bar is gold. how many ounces of gold is in the bar?
Elza [17]
Not sure I'm right but:

If the bar weighs 9.25 ounces and 65% of the bar is gold, you'd do 65% of 9.25. So the answer would be <span>65% of 9.25= 6.0125</span>

The number of hours per week that the television is turned on is determined for each family in a sample. The mean of the data is
Viktor [21]

Answer:

There are approximately 171 families in the sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentile meaning:

When a value V is said to be in the xth percentile of a set, x% of the values in the set are lower than V and (100-x)% of the values in the set are higher than V.

Twenty-four of the families in the sample turned on the television for 23 hours or less for the week. The 14th percentile of the data is 23 hours.

This means that 24 is 14% of the total number of families.

Approximately how many families are in the sample?

Using a rule of three.

24 - 0.14

x - 1

0.14x = 24

x = 24/0.14

x = 171.4

Rounding to the nearest integer

There are approximately 171 families in the sample.
