What is the midpoint of the segment

1 answer:

Solnce55 [7]3 years ago

4 0

(-3,4)(-6,-1)

The easy way

look at the y's = 4 and -1 the difference is 5 now /2 = 2.5

so the y midpoint is 2.5 from each point or 1.5

look at the x's = -3 and -6 the differebce is 3 now /2 = 1.5

so its 1.5 from each point or -4.5

so midpoint is (-4.5, 1.5) or (-9/2, 3/2) or C

the formula way:

for x

x1+x2/2

-3+-6/2

-9/2 (which is -4.5)

for y

y1+y2/2

4+-1/2

3/2 (which is 1.5)

A norman window is constructed by adjoining a semicircle to the top of an ordinary rectangular. Find the dimensions of a norman

Yanka [14]

Answer:

$W\approx 8.72$ and $L\approx 15.57$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We have been given that a norman window is constructed by adjoining a semicircle to the top of an ordinary rectangular. The total perimeter is 38 feet.

The perimeter of the window will be equal to three sides of rectangle plus half the perimeter of circle. We can represent our given information in an equation as:

$2L+W+\frac{1}{2}(2\pi r)=38$

We can see that diameter of semicircle is W. We know that diameter is twice the radius, so we will get:

$2L+W+\frac{1}{2}(2r\pi)=38$

$2L+W+\frac{\pi}{2}W=38$

Let us find area of window equation as:

$\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{1}{2}(\pi r^2)$

$\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{1}{2}(\pi (\frac{W}{2})^2)$

$\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{\pi}{2}(\frac{W}{2})^2)$

$\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{\pi}{2}(\frac{W^2}{4})$

$\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{\pi}{8}W^2$

Now, we will solve for L is terms W from perimeter equation as:

$L=38-(W+\frac{\pi }{2}W)$

Substitute this value in area equation:

$A=W\cdot (38-W-\frac{\pi }{2}W)+\frac{\pi}{8}W^2$

Since we need the area of window to maximize, so we need to optimize area equation.

$A=W\cdot (38-W-\frac{\pi }{2}W)+\frac{\pi}{8}W^2$

$A=38W-W^2-\frac{\pi }{2}W^2+\frac{\pi}{8}W^2$

Let us find derivative of area equation as:

$A'=38-2W-\frac{2\pi }{2}W+\frac{2\pi}{8}W$

$A'=38-2W-\pi W+\frac{\pi}{4}W$

$A'=38-2W-\frac{4\pi W}{4}+\frac{\pi}{4}W$

$A'=38-2W-\frac{3\pi W}{4}$

To find maxima, we will equate first derivative equal to 0 as:

$38-2W-\frac{3\pi W}{4}=0$

$-2W-\frac{3\pi W}{4}=-38$

$\frac{-8W-3\pi W}{4}=-38$

$\frac{-8W-3\pi W}{4}*4=-38*4$

$-8W-3\pi W=-152$

$8W+3\pi W=152$

$W(8+3\pi)=152$

$W=\frac{152}{8+3\pi}$

$W=8.723210$

$W\approx 8.72$

Upon substituting $W=8.723210$ in equation $L=38-(W+\frac{\pi }{2}W)$ , we will get:

$L=38-(8.723210+\frac{\pi }{2}8.723210)$

$L=38-(8.723210+\frac{8.723210\pi }{2})$

$L=38-(8.723210+\frac{27.40477245}{2})$

$L=38-(8.723210+13.70238622)$

$L=38-(22.42559622)$

$L=15.57440378$

$L\approx 15.57$

Therefore, the dimensions of the window that will maximize the area would be $W\approx 8.72$ and $L\approx 15.57$ .
