Answer:

A line of symmetry and the line between opposite points in the symmetry are perpendicular to each other.

Explanation:

A line of simmetry splits the figure into two identical halves.

Suppose you have a symmetrical plane figure (like a square or a circle), the line of symmetry divides such figure in two sides: call them the left side and the right side.

The reflection of each point on the right side is a point on the left side along the perpendicular line that joins the two points and the line of symmetry.

For instance, if the line of symmetry is vertical, such as the x-axis, the line between the opposite points in the symmetry is horizontal, i.e. perpendicular to the x-axis (the line of summetry).

Find the dimensions of the rectangle with area 256 square inches that has minimum perimeter, and then find the minimum perimeter

mezya [45]

Answer:

Dimensions: $A=a\cdot b=256$

Perimiter: $P=2a+2b$

Minimum perimeter: [16,16]

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem of optimization with constraints.

We can define the rectangle with two sides of size "a" and two sides of size "b".

The area of the rectangle can be defined then as:

$A=a\cdot b=256$

This is the constraint.

To simplify and as we have only one constraint and two variables, we can express a in function of b as:

$b=\frac{256}{a}$

The function we want to optimize is the diameter.

We can express the diameter as:

$P=2a+2b=2a+2*\frac{256}{a}$

To optimize we can derive the function and equal to zero.

$dP/da=2+2\cdot (-1)\cdot\frac{256}{a^2}=0\\\\\frac{512}{a^2}=2\\\\a=\sqrt{512/2}= \sqrt {256} =16\\\\b=256/a=256/16=16$

The minimum perimiter happens when both sides are of size 16 (a square).

A group of tourists can be sorted into tour boats in groups of 4 or in groups of 6. In either case, there are no empty seats. Fi

Jobisdone [24]

Answer: there are 36 tourists.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, we have two integer numbers:

T, the number of tourists and S, the number of seats.

Such that, if we divide the tourists into groups of 4 and in groups of 6, we end with no empty seats.

Knowing that the number S must be an integer, and when we divide T into groups of 4 and 6 we end with no empty seats, this means that T can be divided by 4 and by 6.

This means that T is a common multiple of 4 and 6

Now, we also know that 25 < T < 45.

Then let's see which ones are the multiples of 4 between 25 and 45.

4*7 = 28

4*8 = 32

4*9 = 36

4*10 = 40

4*11 = 44.

Now, the multiples of 6 in that range are:

6*5 = 30

6*6 = 36

6*7 = 42.

You can see that 36 is a common multiple, other way to see it is:

4*9 = (2*2)*(3*3) = 2*2*3*3 = (2*3)*(2*3) = 6*6

So the numer of tourist must be 36.
