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

Answer:

1. AB ~= DF

2. Definition of Congruent

3. Reflexive Property of Congruency

4 BD=BD

6. AB+BD=AD; DF+BD=BF

7. Substitution Property of Equality

8. Definition of Congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The given always goes first, and that's the first reason, so AB ~= DF must be the first statement (that should be the congruency symbol).

2. The definition of congruent is that if they are congruent then they are equal. Since that statement made two congruent lines equal, it must be the definition.

3. The reflexive property means something is congruent to itself, and BDis BD, therefore it is the reflexive property.

4. Remember if something is congruent then it is equal.

6. The segment addition postulate states that if we are given two points on a line segment, then AB+AC=AC.

7. In this statement AD was substituted for DF+BD. This can be done because of AB=DF and BD=BD as aforementioned.

8. If two things are congruent then they are equal by definition of congruency.

Your friend shows you a coin collection. In it 45/50 of the coins are quarters. what percent of the coins are quarters?
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

90% of them are quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you take 50 and multiply it by two, you get 100. But, in order to get the right number, you have to multiply 45 by two as well. 45 x 2 is 90. 90 out of 100 is 90 percent. So 90% is the answer.
