What is the minimum perimeter of a rectangle that has an area of 84 square inches?

Mathematics

First, choose variables to represent the length and width of this rectangle.  Why not use L and W?  Then the area is L*W=84 sq. in., and this equation could be solved for either L or W.  If for L, then L=84/W.

The Perimeter of the rectangle is P = 2L + 2W.  Substitute the above expression for L into this expression for P.  Doing so eliminates L from your equation.  Now consider graphing your equation for P(W).  Does your graph show a minimum value?  If so, at which W value?

A newspaper reports the following changes in the temperature of a city over 4 days:
Pie

Answer:

The expression to show the average daily change in temperature can be given by :

⇒ \frac{2.64-0.22-0.35+0.63}{4}°C

Step-by-step explanation:

Changes in the temperature of city as reported by newspaper :

Day 1: 2.64° C

Day 2: -\frac{2}{9}°C

Day 3: -0.35°C

Day 4: \frac{5}{8}°C

The average daily change in temperature can be calculated as

⇒ \frac{2.64-\frac{2}{9}-0.35+\frac{5}{8}}{4}°C

The fractions can be written in decimals

⇒ \frac{2.64-0.22-0.35+0.63}{4}°C

⇒ \frac{2.7}{4}°C

⇒ 0.675\°C\approx 0.68°C [Average daily change in temperature.]
