Answer:

Length and width of 85 yards will give the same perimeter and larger area.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent length and y represent width of rectangle.

The perimeter of the rectangle would be 2x+2y\Rightarrow 2(x+y).

We have been given that a rectangular lot is 110 yard long and 60 yards wide. The perimeter of the given rectangle would be 2 times the width and length.

\text{Perimeter}=2(110+60)  

\text{Perimeter}=2(170)

\text{Perimeter}=340

Upon equating both perimeters, we will get:

2(x+y)=340

Divide both sides by 2:

x+y=170

y=170-x

We know that area of rectangle is length times width.

\text{Area}=x\cdot y

A(x)=x\cdot (170-x)

A(x)=170x-x^2

Now, we will take the derivative of area function as:

A'(x)=170-2x

Now we will equate derivative with 0 and solve for x.

0=170-2x

2x=170

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{170}{2}

x=85

Therefore, the length of rectangle would be 85 yards.

Upon substituting x=85 in equation y=170-x, we will get:

y=170-85=85

Therefore, the width of rectangle would be 85 yards.

This means that we will get a square. Since each square is a rectangle, therefore, length and width of 85 yards will give the same perimeter and larger area.

We can verify our answers.

\text{New area}=85\times 85=7225

\text{Original area}=110\cdot 60=6600

\text{New perimeter}=2(85+85)

\text{New perimeter}=2(170)=340

Answer:

85 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = 110 yard

width = 60 yards

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( length + width)

P = 2 (110 + 60) = 340 yards

Now let the length is L and width is W.

P = 340 = 2 ( L + W)

L + W = 170 W = 170 - L ..... (1)

Area, A = L x W

A = L (170 - L)

A = 170 L - L²

Differentiate with respect to L

dA/dL = 170 - 2 L

Put it equal to zero for maxima and minima

2 L = 170

L = 85 yards

So, W = 170 - L = 170 - 85 = 85 yards

So, A = 85 x 85 = 7225 yard²

So, when the length and width is same and equal to 85 yards the perimeter is same and the area is largest.

Answer:

11/18:11=1/3:6

Step-by-step explanation:

x:11=x/11 so

x/11=1/3/6

x /11=1/3*6

x=11/18

South School has a circular pattern on the playground that has a radius of 6 feet. Find a. the circumference of the pattern and
katrin [286]

Answer:

Circumference: 37.68

Area: 113.04

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula to find the circumference is 2 x 3.14 x r

r is the radius so you plug in 6 for that

2 x 3.14 x 6 = 37.68

the formula to find the area of a circle is 3.14 x r ²

r is still the radius so you plug in 6 for that

3.14 x 6² = 113.04
