Answer:

84=2l+2w

w=21

Step-by-step explanation:

84=2(l+w)

42=l+w

l=42-w

Area=l×w

A=(42-w)×w

Differentiate A=42w-w×w

with respective to "w".

dA/dw= 42-2w

For a minimum or maximum area

dA/dw=0

then, 42-2w=0

w=21

proving "A" is maximum when "w=21"

dA/dw>0 when w<21

dA/dw<0 when w>21

Therefore Area is maximum when "w=21"

Can someone help me. I’ve tried doing this on paper. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong
IrinaK [193]
ANSWER: x=12
EXPLANATION:
9+x/6=11
(54+x)/6=11 (finding common denominator)
x/6=11-54/6 (rearranging terms)
x/6=(66-54)/6 (finding common denominator so 6 gets cancelled from both the sides)
x=12

Find the measure of angle 1
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

44°

Step-by-step explanation:

8x - 4 = 6x + 8 (This is because they are corresponding angles)

8x - 6x = 8 + 4

2x = 12

x = 12 ÷ 2

x = 6

6x + 8 = angle 1 (Vertically opposite angles are equal)

Substitute the value of x in the equation '6x +8' to get the size of the angle.

6 × 6 + 8

36 + 8 = 44°

Angle 1  =  44°
