Answer:

The discount which she received is 25 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The original price of scarf = $ 16

The selling price of scarf = $ 12

Let The discount percentage = d %

So,

Discount percentage = \frac{\textrm market price-\textrm selling price}{\textrm market price} × 100

or, d % = \frac{16-12}{16} × 100

Or, d % = \frac{400}{16}

∴ d = 25%

Hence The discount which she received is 25 %  Answer

Answer:

Therefore the circumference of the circle is =\frac{20\pi}{4+\pi}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side of the square be s

and the radius of the circle be r

The perimeter of the square is = 4s

The circumference of the circle is =2πr

Given that the length of the wire is 20 cm.

According to the problem,

4s + 2πr =20

⇒2s+πr =10

\Rightarrow s=\frac{10-\pi r}{2}

The area of the circle is = πr²

The area of the square is = s²

A represent the total area of the square and circle.

A=πr²+s²

Putting the value of s

A=\pi r^2+ (\frac{10-\pi r}{2})^2

\Rightarrow A= \pi r^2+(\frac{10}{2})^2-2.\frac{10}{2}.\frac{\pi r}{2}+ (\frac{\pi r}{2})^2

\Rightarrow A=\pi r^2 +25-5 \pi r +\frac{\pi^2r^2}{4}

\Rightarrow A=\pi r^2\frac{4+\pi}{4} -5\pi r +25

For maximum or minimum \frac{dA}{dr}=0

Differentiating with respect to r

\frac{dA}{dr}= \frac{2\pi r(4+\pi)}{4} -5\pi

Again differentiating with respect to r

\frac{d^2A}{dr^2}=\frac{2\pi (4+\pi)}{4}    > 0

For maximum or minimum

\frac{dA}{dr}=0

\Rightarrow \frac{2\pi r(4+\pi)}{4} -5\pi=0

\Rightarrow r = \frac{10\pi }{\pi(4+\pi)}

\Rightarrow r=\frac{10}{4+\pi}

\frac{d^2A}{dr^2}|_{ r=\frac{10}{4+\pi}}=\frac{2\pi (4+\pi)}{4}>0

Therefore at r=\frac{10}{4+\pi}  , A is minimum.

Therefore the circumference of the circle is

=2 \pi \frac{10}{4+\pi}

=\frac{20\pi}{4+\pi}

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

To create a histogram of the given data set, we first must check for the frequency of each value.

6, 3, 8, 8, 6, 6, 8, 2, 5, 2, 5, 10, 3, 5

2 - 2

3 - 2

5 - 3

6 - 3

8 - 3

10 - 1

Now that we have the frequencies of each, we need to add them to each range.

0 - 2 : 2

3 - 5 : 5

6 - 8 : 6

9 - 11 : 1

Refer to the image for the histogram.
