Given a rectangle with a perimeter of 24 inches, why dimensions maximize the area?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Pepsi [2]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The dimensions are 6 by 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculus answer:

2x +2y= 24

xy= A

2x=24-2y

x=12-y

(12-y)(y)= 12y- y^2

the Derivative is = 12-2y

Then set that equal to zero 0=12-2y

-12=-2y

y=6

Confirm that 6 is a maximum by using a wiggle graph

wiggle graph -∞<---inc--6---dec-->∞

6 is a maximum

plug into original equation

2x + 2(6)=24

2x+12=24

2x=12

x=6

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

y=6

x=6

Darpana solved the equation s = StartFraction a + b + c Over 3 EndFraction for a. Her steps are shown below: 1. Multiply by 3: s
Harman [31]

Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is :

s=\dfrac{a+b+c}{3}

The equation can be solved for a as follows :

Step 1.

Cross multiply the given equation

3s=a+b+c

Step 2.

Now subtract b on both sides

3s-b = a+b+c-b

3s-b = a+c

Step 3.

Subtract c on both sides

3s-b-c=a+c-c

⇒ a=3s-b-c

The statement that is true for Darpana is " In step 3, she needed to subtract c rather than divide".
