Let
x ----------> the height of the whole poster
<span>y ----------> the </span>width<span> of the whole poster
</span>
We need to minimize the area A=x*y

we know that
(x-4)*(y-2)=722
(y-2)=722/(x-4)
(y)=[722/(x-4)]+2

so
A(x)=x*y--------->A(x)=x*{[722/(x-4)]+2}
Need to minimize this function over x > 4

find the derivative------> A1 (x)
A1(x)=2*[8x²-8x-1428]/[(x-4)²]

for A1(x)=0
8x²-8x-1428=0
using a graph tool
gives x=13.87 in

(y)=[722/(x-4)]+2

y=[2x+714]/[x-4]-----> y=[2*13.87+714]/[13.87-4]-----> y=75.15 in

the answer is
<span>the dimensions of the poster will be
</span>the height of the whole poster is 13.87 in
the width of the whole poster is 75.15 in

A triangle has angles measuring 43° and 62°. What is the measure of the triangle's third angle?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

75 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

I know the measure of the triangle's third angle is 75 degrees because all the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. So, I did 180-62-43 and got 75. So, in order for this triangle to be true, the third triangle would have to be 75 degrees.

To check: 43 degrees+ 62 degrees+ 75 degrees = 180 degrees.
