The area of the rectangular pen is 10,000 m² and the area of the circular pen is 12,738.95 m².

For the rectangular pen, we want the sides to be congruent.  To minimize perimeter and maximize area, the figure needs to be equilateral.

400/4 = 100 m for each side

This means that the area is 100(100) = 10,000 m².

If the pen is circular, this means the circumference is 400 m.  Circumference is given by the formula C=πd:

400 = 3.14d

Divide both sides by 3.14:
400/3.14 = 3.14d/3.14
127.389 = d

The radius is half of the diameter:
r = 127.389/2 = 63.6945

The area of the circle is given by A=πr²:

A=3.14(63.6945)² = 12738.9465 ≈ 12738.95 m²

Answer:

82 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Measure of arc ABC = 86*2 = 172 degrees.

Measure of arc DC = 360 - (145+172) = 360-317 = 43 degrees.

Measure of arc BCD = 121+43 = 164 degrees.

Measure of angle A = 164/2 = 82 degrees

Suppose that Sahil knows that 45 people with the ages of 18 to 19 voted. With out using a calculator, he quickly says then 135 p
Amiraneli [1.4K]
So you are given that 45 people in the age range of 18 to 29 who voted make up 10% of the total voters.

And you also know that 30% of the voters are in the age range of 30-49. And you need to find out how many people aged 30-49 voted.

So 10% of the total make up 45 people.
That means for 30% of the total number people, there would be 45 x 3 people, or 135 people. Because 10% x 3 = 30%

So, great job! :D

Anyone know how to do this
Anton [14]

let

(hypotenuse ) c = 10 in

(perpendicular) a = 8 in

(base) b =?

By using Pythagoras theorem

c^2= a^2+b^2

(10)^2 = (8)^2 +(b)^2

100 = 64 +(b)^2

100- 64 = (b)^2

36 = (b)^2

√36 = b

6 = b

hence b= 6 in
