A waiting room is 2/3 full when 36 people are seated. How many people are in the waiting room when it is 1/2 full?

1 answer:

6 0

When 36 people are seated the room is 2/3 full.
So for 1/3 , 18 people are needed
It will be 3/3 full if 54 people are present

So there can be 54 people in total

Now for the room to be 1/2 full , people will be 1/2 x 54 = 27 people

A piece of wire 23 m long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an equilateral tria

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

For maximum area, all of the wire should be used to construct the square.

The minimum total area is obtained when length of the wire is 10m

Step-by-step explanation:

For maximum, we use the whole length

For minimum,

supposed the x length was used for the square,

the length of the side of the square = x/4m

Area = $\frac{x^{2} }{16}$

For the equilateral triangle, the length of the side = $\frac{23 - x}{3}$

Area = $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} a^{2} = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} (\frac{23 - x}{3} )^{2}$

Total Area = $\frac{x^{2} }{16}$ + $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{36} (23-x)^{2}$

$\frac{dA}{dx} = \frac{x}{8} - \frac{\sqrt{3} }{18} (23 - x)\\$

$\frac{d^{2}A }{dx^{2} } = \frac{1}{8} + \frac{\sqrt{3} }{18} > 0$ , therefore it is minimum

$\frac{dA}{dx} = 0 \\\\$

$\frac{x}{8} - \frac{\sqrt{3} }{18} (23 - x) = 0\\$

x = 10.00m
