The total distance she will need to cut is 62 centimeters. Work shown: 1) simplify original equation- 10x-4+6x+2( 40-4+24+2) 2) solve equation: 36+24+2 3) continue to solve: 38+24= 62. Now you have your answer!!
<span>To minimize the perimeter you should always have a square.
sqrt(289) = 17
The dimensions should be 17 X 17
To see , try starting at length 1, and gradually increase the length.
The height decreases at a faster rate than the length increases, up until you reach a square.
Or if you want to use algebra, Say the width is 17-x
Then the length is 289/(17-x)
Now, this is bigger than 17+x, as shown here:
289/(17-x) > 17+x
289 > 289 - x^2
which is true.
so the perimeter would be bigger than 2 * (17- x + 17 + x) = 2 * (2 * 17) = 4 * 17
Again, the dimensions should be a square. 17 X 17.</span>
Answer: D
Step-by-step explanation:
Think of it logically: A and C are not below sea level so you can cross them out. And B doesn't work because if you decrease -10 by 10 you get -20. So, D is correct.
