If you have 50 feet of fence, what shape would yield the greatest area in yards?

Mathematics

Vesnalui [34]2 years ago

7 0

Answer:

Square

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle is

P=2(l+w)

Where l is length and w is width

Substituting 50 for P

50=2(l+w)

25=l+w

Making w the subject of formula then

w=25-l

Area is lw and substituting for w

A=l(25-l)=-l²+25l

A=-l²+25l

Getting firat derivative of A with respect to l

-2l+25=0

l=25/2=12.5 yards

Width will be 25-12.5=12.5 yards

The dimensions of length and width are same hence the shape is square

How are percent transmittance and absorbance related algebraically?

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

So, if all the light passes through a solution without any absorption, then absorbance is zero, and percent transmittance is 100%. If all the light is absorbed, then percent transmittance is zero, and absorption is infinite.

Absorbance is the inverse of transmittance so,

A = 1/T

Beer's law (sometimes called the Beer-Lambert law) states that the absorbance is proportional to the path length, b, through the sample and the concentration of the absorbing species, c:

A ∝ b · c

As Transmittance, $T =\dfrac{P}{P_0}$

% Transmittance, $\%T=100\times T$

Absorbance,

$A=\log_{10} \dfrac{P_0}{P}\\\\A =\log_{10}\times \dfrac{1}{T}\\\\A=\dfrac{\log_{10} 100}{\%T}\\\\A=(2 - log_{10})\times \%T$

Hence, $A=\log_{10}\times \dfrac{1}{T}$ is the algebraic relation between absorbance and transmittance.
