Answer:

<h2>Length is 17m and Breadth is also 17m</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as 2(L+B) where;

L is the length and B is the breadth of the triangle.

P = 2(L+B)

68 = 2(L+B)

L+B = 68/2

L+B = 34

L = 34 - B ... 1

Area of the rectangle A = LB... 2

Substituting equation 1 into 2 will give;

A = (34-B)B

A = 34B-B²

To maximize the area of the triangle, dA/dB must be equal to zero i.e

dA/dB = 0

dA/dB = 34 - 2B = 0

34-2B = 0

2B = 34

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2 we will have;

B = 34/2

B = 17

Substituting B = 17 into equation 1 to get the length L

L = 34-17

L = 17m

This shows that the rectangle with maximum area is a square since L = B = 17m

The dimension of the rectangle is Length = 17m and Breadth = 17m

What is the simplified value of the expression below? 8.5+(12+4)x2-7
Lilit [14]
B. 33.5 is your answer
First you want to add 12+4 because it is in parentheses
8.5+16x2-7
Then you multiply 16 by 2
8.5+32-7
Then you add 8.5 to 32
40.5-7
Then you subtract 7 from 40.5 giving you your answer

How do i do a coordinate plane
Nataly [62]

Answer:

To find out the coordinates of a point in the coordinate system you do the opposite. Begin at the point and follow a vertical line either up or down to the x-axis. There is your x-coordinate. And then do the same but following a horizontal line to find the y-coordinate.
