 <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>

Write the equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100. <br> 9/10 = ?/100.
choli [55]

Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

Find common denominators. Note that what you multiply to the denominator (bottom number of the fraction), you must also multiply to the numerator (top number of the fraction).

In this case, you are multiply 10 to both the numerator and denominator, as:

100/10 =10

Multiply 10 to the numerator:

? = 9 * 10

? = 90

90 is your answer.
