Answer: 60
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the side lengths of the rectangular pan be m and n. It follows that (m-2) (n-2)= 
So, since haf of the brownie pieces are in the interior. This gives 2 (m-2) (n-2) =mn
mn- 2m - 2n- 4 = 0
Then Adding 8 to both sides and applying, we obtain (m-2) (n-2) =8
Since now, m and n are both positive, we obtain (m,n) = (5,12), (6,8) (up to ordering). By inspection, 5. 12 = 60
which maximizes the number of brownies in total which is the greatest number.
Hope that helped! =)
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
If the triangle is a right triangle, then
(3x)² + x² = (10)² .
9x² + x² = 100
10x² = 100
x² = 10
x = √10 = approx. 3.1622...
If ' x ' is <em>anything less than √10</em> , then the short sides are too short
to make a right angle at the top, and the angle where they meet
is obtuse.
' x ' has to be greater than 2.5 ... otherwise the two short sides
can't stretch far enough to reach both ends of the long side (10) .
So, if 2.5 < x < √10 , then there is a triangle, and it's obtuse.
The answer of question 23 is 24
