Find the minimum and maximum possible areas of a rectangle measuring 6 km by 11 km.

1 answer:

3 0

Assuming your numbers are rounded to the nearest km, the minimum area will be ...
(5.5 km)·(10.5 km) = 57.75 km² . . . minimum

And the maximum area will be ...
(6.5 km)·(11.5 km) = 74.75 km² . . . maximum

_____
When a number is rounded to 6 km as the nearest km, its value may actually be anywhere in the range 6 km ± 0.5 km. If you really want to get technical about it, the ranges of possible dimensions are [5.5, 6.5) km and [10.5, 11.5) km, and the range of possible areas is [57.75, 74.75) km².

A 1414-ft ladder leans against a wall at a point 55 feet above the ground. how far is the bottom of the ladder from the wall?

viva [34]

Assume ladder length is 14 ft and that the top end of the ladder is 5 feet above the ground.

Find the distance the bottom of the ladder is from the base of the wall.

Picture a right triangle with hypotenuse 14 feet and that the side opposite the angle is h. Then sin theta = h / 14, or theta = arcsin 5/14. theta is

0.365 radian. Then the dist. of the bot. of the lad. from the base of the wall is

14cos theta = 14cos 0.365 rad = 13.08 feet. This does not seem reasonable; the ladder would fall if it were already that close to the ground.
