Answer:

In explanation you see the answer but it I see it send it  different  so I just added a file so you can see clearly the way how this exercise works. Please, see the file attached

Explanation:

Let x = circumference of the circle

then

(53-x) = the perimeter of the square

and \frac{53-\times}{4} = the side of the square

and

\left(\frac{53-\times}{4}\right)^2 = the area of the square

:

Find the area of the circle using the circumference

find the radius (r)

2*pi*r = x

r = \frac{\times}{2*\mathbit{\pi}}

r = \frac{\times}{6.28}

Find the area of the circle

\mathbit{A}=\pi r^2

Replace r with \frac{\times}{6.28}

A = π * \left(\frac{\times}{6.28}\right)^2=  * \left(\frac{\times^2}{39.48}\right)      

cancel pi into 39.48

A =  \left(\frac{\times^2}{12.566}\right)

Total area of circle and square

A =  \left(\frac{\times^2}{12.566}\right)+\left(\frac{53-\times}{4}\right)^2  = \left(\frac{\times^2}{12.566}\right)  + \left(\frac{{2809-106\times+\times}^2}{16}\right)

:

convert these fractions to decimal coefficients

A(x) = .0796x^2 + .0625x^2 - 6.625x + 175.5625

A(x) = .1421x^2 - 6.625x + 175.5625

:

Find the axis of symmetry of this quadratic equation (min area)

x =   \frac{-\left(-6.625\right)}{2*.1421}

x =   \frac{6.625}{.2842}

x = 23.31 cm is the circumference when they have min area

Which essential element of geography focuses on common cultures
bogdanovich [222]

The correct answer is - C) places and regions.

All places and regions have their own unique traits from whatever aspect we are looking at them. The way of functioning, the culture, are determined by the geographical conditions that are found at certain place. It might be the amount of sunlight, the geostrategic position, the amount of rain, the amount of wind, is it a lowland or it's a high altitude place or region, is there rivers and how big they are, etc... All geographical factors influence the common cultures, and it is very easy to notice if you make a comparison between the cultures that are found around the Mediterranean with the ones in Scandinavia for example, and how much and what way the geographical factors are influencing the cultures.
