Answer:

132.233 ft2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the width of the rectangle 'w' and the length 'x'. So the area of the semicircle is:

A_1 = \pi*radius^2/2

A_1 = \pi*(w/2)^2/2

A_1 = \pi/8*w^2

And the area of the rectangle is:

A_2 = w*x

If the perimeter of the window is 41 feet, we have:

Perimeter = length + 2*width + \pi*radius

41 = x + 2*w + \pi*w/2

x = 41 - w(2 + \pi/2)

Now, the equation for the total area of the window is:

A = A_1 + A_2 = \pi/8*w^2 + w*x

A = \pi/8*w^2 + w*(41 - w(2 + \pi/2))

A = (\pi/8-2 - \pi/2)*w^2 + 41w = -3.1781w^2 + 41w

To find the maximum area, we can find the x-coordinate of the vertex of the quadratic equation:

x\_vertex = -b / 2a = -41 / (-3.1781*2) = 6.45

So the width that gives us the maximum area of the window is 6.45 feet, and the area will be:

A = -3.1781w^2 + 41w = -3.1781*(6.45)^2 + 41*6.45 = 132.233\ ft^2

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

1, 3, and 4 would be correct answers

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) <u>-x - 2x - 3y - 2y + 1 + 1 = -3x -5y + 2</u>

2.) -3x + 2y + 3y + 2 = -3x + 5y + 2

3.) <u>-3x - y - y - y - y - y + 2 = -3x - 5y + 2</u>

4.) <u>-x - x - x - y - y - y - y - y + 1 + 1 = -3x - 5y + 2</u>

5.) x + x + x + y + y + y + y + y + 1 + 1 = 3x + 5y + 2

Hope this helps!

How do you work out this problem, step by step please I am so lost. Year Average Household Income (before taxes) Food Housing Tr
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

(a)Food-12%

9b)Transportation-17%

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Year 2000

  • Average Household Income (before taxes)=$44,649
  • Amount Spent on Food =$5,158
  • Amount Spent on Transportation=$7,417

Therefore:

(a)Percentage of the average household income in 2000 was spent on food

=\dfrac{5158}{44649} \times 100\\\\=11.55\%\\\\\approx 12\% $(to the nearest percent.)

(b)Percentage of the average household income in 2000 was spent on transportation

=\dfrac{7,417}{44649} \times 100\\\\=16.6\%\\\\\approx 17\% $(to the nearest percent.)
