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*(length+width)

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

the maximum area is given by a square

the answer is
is a square of side 61 m

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Put in the form of y = Ax + B

x + 2y = 10

2y = -x + 10

y = -½x + 5

has a slope of -½ and a y intercept of 5

-x + 4y = 8

4y = x + 8

y = ¼x + 2

has a slope of ¼ and a y intercept of 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to multiply .79 to both a and 1.2. A is wrong because it's saying we need to multiply .79 to 1.2lb. which is the weight of oranges and the total cost of apples and oranges which is 6.27.
