Find the length and width of a rectangle that has the given perimeter and a maximum area. perimeter: 244 meters

1 answer:

6 0

We know that

[perimeter of rectangle]=2*(<span>length+width)
</span>
Let
x-----------> length
y-----------> width
so
P=2*(x+y)-----------> 244=2*(x+y)-----> x+y=122-------> y=122-x

Area=x*y-------> x*(122-x)----> 122x-x²

find the derivative function and equals to zero

122-2x=0-----> 122=2x----------> x=61 m
y=122-x------> y=122-61---------> y=61 m

<span>the maximum area is given by a square
</span>
the answer is
is a square of side 61 m

Answer:

$13\leq x$

Explanation:

If a side has a bracket [] then it is less than or equal to, meaning that it can reach that exact number.

However, if a side has a parentheses () then it is simply less than. It cannot be that exact number, but it can be even slightly less than that number.

A pair of parallel lines is cut by a transversal. One of the angles formed measures 58°.

There are three more angles with the same measure. A pair of corresponding angles and a pair of vertical angles.
