Perimeter: P=62 feet
P=2(b+h)
62=2(b+h)
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
62/2=2(b+h)/2
31=b+h
b+h=31 (1)
Area: A=bh (2)
Isolating h in equation (1)
(1) b+h=31→b+h-b=31-b→h=31-b (3)
Replacing h by 31-b in equation (2)
(2) A=bh
A=b(31-b)
A=31b-b^2
To maximize the area:
A'=0
A'=(A)'=(31b-b^2)'=(31b)'-(b^2)'=31-2b^(2-1)→A'=31-2b
A'=0→31-2b=0
Solving for b:
31-2b+2b=0+2b
31=2b
Dividing both sides by 2:
31/2=2b/2
31/2=b
b=31/2=15.5
Replacing b by 31/2 in equation (3)
h=31-b
h=31-31/2
h=(2*31-31)/2
h=(62-31)/2
h=31/2
The dimensions are 31/2 ft x 31/2 ft = 15.5 ft x 15.5 ft
The area with these dimensions is: A=(15.5 ft)(15.5 ft)→A=240.25 ft^2
These dimensions are not in the options
1) The first option has an area of: A=(18 ft)(13 ft)→A=234 ft^2
2) The second option has an area of: A=(19 ft)(12 ft)→A=228 ft^2
3) The third option has an area of: A=(17 ft)(14 ft)→A=238 ft^2
The third option has the largest area.
Answer: Third option
Answer: Jason paid $33 for the jacket
Step-by-step explanation: 50% of 88 is 44. Because it’s percent off we subtract. 88-44=44. That’s the discount price. Now we discount the discounted price. Remember that this is NOT a 75% discount, it’s two separate discounts. 25% of 44 is 11. 44-11=33. The final price is $33.

Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
First, order the numbers in the given set from least to greatest:
8 , 9 , 9 , 10 , 12 , 14 , 15 , 15
The median is the number found in the middle of the given set. If the amount of numbers in the set are even (as in this case), then you will find the mean of the two middle numbers.
In this case, the middle numbers are 10 & 12:
Find the mean. The mean is found by adding all the numbers together and dividing by the amount of numbers there is:
(10 + 12)/2 = (22)/2 = 11
11 is your median.
