g is constructing a triangular sail for a sailboat. Aluminum supports will run along the horizontal base and vertical height of

the sail, respectively. After making some measurements, Calculo determines that the height of the sail cannot exceed 12 feet, or else it will not be able to fit under the bridges in the area. In addition, the total weight of the supports cannot exceed 80 pounds, or else the boat will sink. If aluminum weighs 5 pounds per foot, what is the area of the largest sail Calculo can build? Fully justify your answer, doing each step you learned in the class prep. In particular, you must show that the area you found is indeed the largest possible.

Answer: A (max) = 1/2 ( 8 * 8 )   = 32 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two constrains

a) The height of the sail ( support) cannot exceed 12 feet

b) The total weight of the supports cannot exceed 80 pounds

The weight of a foot of aluminum is 5 .

If we call:

x lenght of base support,  y  height of the vertical support  and the sail shape (is a triangle) we have

A = 1/2* ( x + y )

We know that (given a constant perimeter rectangle, the maximun area  is the square

A = x * y                P = 2x +2y         y = (P - 2x ) ÷ 2  

A = x * ( P - 2x ) ÷ 2  ⇒    A = (Px -2x²) ÷ 2

if we get derivative      A´(x) = (P-4x)/2     ⇒  (P-4x)/2   = 0

P = 4x and    x = P/4

Now we can look an square as two straight triangles joined by the diagonal and these two triangles are of area maximun.

Therefore in our case the sail must be of 8 x 8 feet (base and height)

A (max) = 1/2 ( 8 * 8 )   = 32 ft²   and we will keep the condition of weigh

8 + 8 = 16 feet   and the supports weights  16 * 5  = 80 pounds

Judys brother sam has a collection of 96 comic book. What are the ten way sam could divide his comic books into equal groups?
Georgia [21]
We have been given that Judy’s brother Sam has a collection of 96 comic books.
We have been asked to find the 10 ways Sam could divide his comic books into equal groups.
This can be done as follows:
96 can be written as .
Thus, we can either have 2 groups of 48 comics or 48 groups of 2 comics. As we can see we have 2 ways to divide the comic books in equal groups.
Likewise, 96 can also be written as . Here, we can similarly see that we can either have 3 groups of 32 comics or 32 groups of 3 comics. As we can again see we have 2 more ways to divide the comic books in equal groups, taking the total number of ways to 4.
Continuing in this manner we will see that we can have 4 groups of 24 or 24 groups of 4, 6 groups of 16 or 16 groups of 6 and lastly 12 groups of 8 or 8 groups of 12 comic books, thus taking the count to a total of 10 ways in which Sam can divide his comic books into equal groups.

What is the distance between points A(-3,4) and B(1,-2)?
SashulF [63]

Answer:

7.211103

Step-by-step explanation:

For:

(X1, Y1) = (-3, 4)

(X2, Y2) = (1, -2)

Distance Equation Solution:

d=(1−(−3))2+(−2−4)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√

d=(4)2+(−6)2−−−−−−−−−−√

d=16+36−−−−−−√

d=5–√2

d=7.211103
