We can let the radius of the semi circles be r and x can be the length of the rectangle.
The perimeter will be Perimeter = 2x + 2pr = 1200
The area of the rectangle is Area = x(2r)
 Once we solve the perimeter equation, you get x = 600.
Put this into the area equation and you get Area = (600 - pr)(2r)
The maximum then gives r = 95. 493 and area 57, 295.8
Dimensions

Height is twice the radius or 190.986. Find base use equation x = 600 - p(95.493) = 300.

This means dimensions are 300 by 190.986

What are the first three terms of the Arithmetic Sequence an=11-3(n-1)?
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

11,8,5

Step-by-step explanation:

an=11-3(n-1)

Let n=1

a1 = 11 - 3(1-1)

    = 11 -0

    =11

Let n=2

a2 = 11-3(2-1)

     = 11 -3(1)

     = 8

Let n=3

a3 = 11-3(3-1)

    = 11 -3(2)

    = 11 -6

    =5
