Believe it or not, :), the width of the ribbon needs to be known to get the right answer.  If the ribbon had an infinitely small width the ribbon needed would just be the perimeter.

P=2(L+W)

P=2(12+15)

P=54 in

However an infinitely small width is not something that has any practical application.  For example, if the width of the ribbon were 1/2 in.

P=2((L+1)+W)

P=2(16+12)

P=56 in  So the perimeter increased by 2 in when the ribbon was only 1/2 in wide.

The "infinitely small" width and the perimeter of 54 in is only a decent approximation if the ribbon were a very thin string.

Prove: Quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Step 3.

m∠ AEB = m∠ CED .........By  Vertical Angles Theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical Angles Theorem:

Vertical angle theorem states that vertical angles, angles that are opposite each other and formed by two intersecting lines,are congruent.

If two lines intersect each other we have two pair of vertical opposite angles. As shown in the figure.

Here,

∠ 1 and ∠ 2 are vertical opposite angles and also they are equal.

∠ 3 and ∠ 4 are also vertical opposite angles and also they are equal.

For,

step 3. m∠ AEB = m∠ CED

Therefore, the reason for step 3 of this proof is Vertical Angles Theorem.

Give that m/_ y=39, find the measures of angles a and b
Amanda [17]

Answer:

  ∠a = 39°

  ∠b = 129°

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are congruent. An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles.

<h3>Application</h3>

Angle y and angle 'a' are vertical angles, so congruent.

  ∠a = ∠y = 39°

The angle marked 'b' is an exterior angle to the triangle. Its remote interior angles are 'a' and the one marked 90°.

  ∠b = ∠a +90° = 39° +90°

  ∠b = 129°

Suppose you have 100 ft of string to rope off a rectangular section for a bake sale at a school Fair. The function A=x^2+50x giv
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Therefore the width is 25 feet for getting maximum area.

The maximum area of the rectangle is 625 square feet.

Therefore the range is 0≤A≤625.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is

A = - x²+50x

We know that ,

If y = ax²+bx+c

For the maximum x=-\frac{b}{2a}

Here a = -1 , b= 50 and c=0

Therefore the width x= -\frac{50}{2.(-1)} = 25

Therefore the width is 25 feet for getting maximum area.

The maximum area =[ -(25)²+50.25] square feet

                                 = 625 square feet

The area can not be negative and maximum area is 625 square feet.

Therefore the range is 0≤A≤625.
