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

Lina20 [59]
The number of people who downloaded the app in the first quarter is 351,875 people.
Those who downloaded in the second quarter are <span>101,949 fewer people  than those in first quarter.
This means that:
number of people who downloaded in 2nd quarter = number of people who downloaded in 1st quarter - 101,949
number of people in 2nd quarter = 351,875 - 101,949 = 249,926 people

Therefore, the total number of people who downloaded the app can be calculated as follows:
Total number = </span>351,875 + 249,926 = 601,801 people

Rounding this number to the nearest hundred thousands, we can get the estimated number of people who downloaded the app as 600,000 people

Work out the difference between 1.95 and 13 ?
vagabundo [1.1K]
Okay, so to make 1.95 a 2 we need to add .05. Now we can just figure out the difference between 2 and 13 and add the .05 later.
13-2=11, so we know the difference between 1.95 and 13 is 11.05.
