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 answer to m
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Height of a cell tower is, 30 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion states that the two fractions or ratios are equal.

As per the given statement:

Let height of a cell tower be h.

Height of a pole = 3m ,

Shadow of a pole = 4 m and

shadow of a cell tower = 36+4 = 40 m

By definition of proportion;

\frac{\text{Height of a cell tower}}{\text{Shadow of a cell tower}} = \frac{\text{Height of a pole}}{\text{Shadow of a pole}}

Substitute the given values we get;

\frac{h}{40}=\frac{3}{4}

by cross multiply we get;

4h = 120

Divide both sides by 4 we get;

h = 30 m

Therefore, the height of a cell tower is, 30 m
