Answer:

Square with side length 25/4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is always going to be largest for a rectangle when the two dimensions are equal.  You are looking for a square. What square has perimeter 25? 4s=25 so the side length of this rectangle (Square) is 25/4 m.

Answer:

It's a square  6.25 * 6.25 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can do this using calculus.

Let the  length of the  rectangle be x m.

2x + 2w = 25   where w = the width.

2w = 25 - 2x

w = 12.5 - x

So the area A = x(12.5 - x) = 12.5x - x^2.

Finding the derivative:

dA /dx = 12.5 - 2x

For a maximum area this = zero

12.5 - 2x = 0

x = 6.25m.

and w = 25 - 12.5  = 6.25m.

(For any rectangle the  maximum area is always a square).

Anna went from home to school with the speed 3 km/hour. She ran back home with the speed 6 km/hour.Her sister Olga went to schoo
PIT_PIT [208]
Let:
v = Olga's speed
t = the time Anna spent going to school (3 km/hour)
t/2 = the time Anna spent running back home with speed of 6 km/hour
So, t + t/2 = 3t/2 is the total time
In the meantime distance = speed*time and the both made the same distance we can put it as:
3t + 6*(t/2) = (3t/2)*v
6t = (3/2)tv divide both sides by t 
(3/2)v = 6
v = 2*6/3
v = 4 km/hour
Olga's speed was 4 km/hour.

The height of an object from a distance
olga55 [171]
Y = height
x = distance from tower

tan(19.9) = y/x

tan(21.8) = y/(x-50)   ( x is 50 feet closer so subtract 50 from x)

find the tan of the angles:
tan19.9 = 0.362
tan21.8 = 0.400

replace those values in the equations:
0.362 = y /x
0.400 = y / (x-50)

rewrite to solve for height:
0.362x = y
0.400(x-50) = y  distribute the 0.400 and rewrite as 0.400x-20 =y

now solve:

0.362x = 0.400x-20

add 20 to each side:
0.362x +20 = 0.400x

subtract 0.362x from each side:

20 = 0.038x

divide both sides by 0.038
x = 20 / 0.038 = 526.3 feet

now that x is known replace x in the original equation and solve for y:

tan19.9 = y /x

0.362 = y / 526.3
y = 0.362 x 526.3
y = 190.5

the height of the tower is 190.5 feet
