What country’s sea captains found plundering other countries ships more profitable than establishing colonies

Geography
1 answer:
Step2247 [10]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

England

Explanation:

When the colonization of the Americas began, the dominant force was Spain, or rather the Crown of Castille. The Spanish managed to move in very quickly into the New World and establish lot of colonies over very large areas. Considering that the focus of the Spanish was on getting as much gold and silver as possible, their ships began to be very interesting, especially for the competition. England tried to use this, sending ships to plunder the Spanish ships that were full of treasures, as at that point of time it seemed much more profitable to rob the Spanish than establish colonies. The English managed to gain a lot of wealth in this manner, making huge damage on the Spanish, and after that they too started to move in gradually into the Americas and establish colonies on their own.

Answer:

In explanation you see the answer but it I see it send it  different  so I just added a file so you can see clearly the way how this exercise works. Please, see the file attached

Explanation:

Let x = circumference of the circle

then

(53-x) = the perimeter of the square

and \frac{53-\times}{4} = the side of the square

and

\left(\frac{53-\times}{4}\right)^2 = the area of the square

:

Find the area of the circle using the circumference

find the radius (r)

2*pi*r = x

r = \frac{\times}{2*\mathbit{\pi}}

r = \frac{\times}{6.28}

Find the area of the circle

\mathbit{A}=\pi r^2

Replace r with \frac{\times}{6.28}

A = π * \left(\frac{\times}{6.28}\right)^2=  * \left(\frac{\times^2}{39.48}\right)      

cancel pi into 39.48

A =  \left(\frac{\times^2}{12.566}\right)

Total area of circle and square

A =  \left(\frac{\times^2}{12.566}\right)+\left(\frac{53-\times}{4}\right)^2  = \left(\frac{\times^2}{12.566}\right)  + \left(\frac{{2809-106\times+\times}^2}{16}\right)

:

convert these fractions to decimal coefficients

A(x) = .0796x^2 + .0625x^2 - 6.625x + 175.5625

A(x) = .1421x^2 - 6.625x + 175.5625

:

Find the axis of symmetry of this quadratic equation (min area)

x =   \frac{-\left(-6.625\right)}{2*.1421}

x =   \frac{6.625}{.2842}

x = 23.31 cm is the circumference when they have min area
