Let the length be x and the width be w
The perimeter will be:
2x+3w=1500
thus
3w=(1500-2x)
w=(1500-2x)/3
w=500-2/3x
The area will be:
A=x*w
A=x(500-2/3x)
A=500x-(2/3)x²
The above is a quadratic equation; thus finding the axis of symmetry we will evaluate for the value of x that will give us maximum area.
Axis of symmetry:
x=-b/(2a)
from our equation:
a=(-2/3) and b=500
thus
x=-500/[2(-2/3)]
x=375
the length will be 375 m
The width will be 250 m
Answer:
42) 254.47 ft²
43) 56 pendants
Step-by-step explanation:
42)
The radius of a circle is equal to half of its diameter.
Diameter = 18 feet
Radius = Diameter ÷ 2 = 18 ÷ 2 = 9 feet
Area of a circle = π 
Substitute in known value of r
Area = π 
Substitute in pi
Area = 3.14 *
Solve exponent
Area = 3.14159265359 * 81
Area = 254.4690049408
(Rounds to 254.47)
254.47 ft²

Find how many pendants can be made out of this amount
pounds
Convert back to ounces (1 lb = 16 ounces)
84 ounces
Amount to make one pendant:
ounces
Convert to decimal
1.5 ounces
Divide 84 by amount of silver per pendant
84 ÷ 1.5
56
The maximum number the pendants that the manufacturer can make is 56
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
Let the additional weight that can be added be = x
Current weight of the bag = 38 pounds
Total weight can be = 50 pounds
The equation becomes:
38+x < or equal 50
x < or equal 50-38=12
Hence, a weight of 12 pounds cab be added to the current wight.
Answer:
c 32 out of 80 were surveyed
<h3>
Answer: 50%</h3>
Work Shown:
change = new - old = 189-126 = 63
percent increase = (change/old)*100%
percent increase = (63/126)*100%
percent increase = (0.50)*100%
percent increase = 50%
50% of 126 = 0.50*126 = 63
126+63 = 189
The answer is confirmed.
