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

Round 4,343 to the nearest thousand.
Ad libitum [116K]
4000. You need to round it to the nearest thousand, which would be the 4 at the start if you break it down into its units. Where from right to left, you have, 1s, 10s, 100s and 1000s. Meaning you need to keep the first digit (unless the hundreds are 500+) and everything after should just be the thousands.

Mary wants to apply a strip of wallpaper along the walls just below the ceiling. If the room is a 14 ft by 12 ft rectangle, then
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

<h2>52 ft.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, we need to calculate a perimeter, which is the sum of all sides of the rectangle.

So, rectangles has opposite sides equal, therefore, the perimeter should be:

P=2 (L+l); having L as the larger side.

P=2(14+12)\\P=2(26)\\P=52

Hence, the strip of wallpaper needs to be as least 52 ft.
