Answer:

The perimeter of square is increasing by 3.76ft/min and then by 3.4 ft/min.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that area of square is increasing at a rate of 16 sq ft/min.

Given that final perimeter is 36ft

Perimeter of a square = 4 \times side = 36

So, side, a' = 9 ft

We know that area of a square is given by the formula:

A = side^2 = a^2 (If we let side = a units)

Change in area =

a'^2 - a^2\\\Rightarrow 9^2 - a^2 = 16\\\Rightarrow 81 - 16 = a^2\\\Rightarrow a = 8.06\ ft

So, side got changed from 8.06ft to 9 ft.

So, perimeter when side was 8.06 ft:

4 \times 8.06 = 32.24\ ft

Hence, increase in the perimeter when perimeter is 36 ft is = 36 - 32.24 = 3.76 ft

For finding Next increase:

area gets changed from 81 sq ft to 81+16 = 97 sq ft

So, new side = \sqrt{97} ft = 9.85 ft

Next increase in perimeter = 4 (New side - Old side)

= 4 (9.85 - 9)

= 3.4 ft/min

A country will produce 3000 missiles this year. Each of the short-range missiles cost $200000 to produce. Each of the medium-ran
Lynna [10]

Answer:

$350,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define:

  • s: amount of short-range missiles produced
  • m: amount of medium-range missiles produced
  • l: amount of long-range missiles produced

From the total production and the ratios we can write the following equations:

s + m + l = 3000

s/m = 3/3 = 1 = m/s

s/l = 3/4 or l/s = 4/3

Dividing the first equation by s, we get:

s/s + m/s + l/s = 3000/s

1 + 1 + 4/3 = 3000/s

10/3 = 3000/s

s = 3000*3/10 = 900

m = 900

l =  4/3*900 = 1200

From the money that the countries plans to use and each missile cost, we can write the following equation:

200,000*s + 300,000*m + cost*l = 870,000,000

Replacing with previous result:

200,000*900 + 300,000*900 + cost*1200 = 870,000,000

cost = (870,000,000 - 200,000*900 - 300,000*900)/1200 = 350,000
