Answer:

23.62 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asking for a condition when the total area of the square and the circle(A) is minimum/lowest. To find the lowest area you can get, you have to differentiate the formula for the total area(A).

The wire is 77cm long, let's say x is the square side and r is the circle radius. Then it will be

77cm= 4x +    2 *  π  * r  

4x= 77cm -   2 *  π  * r  

x= (77cm -  (π  * r ))/4  

Square area is x^2 while circle area is  π *r^2. Total area will be:

A= square area + circle area

A==  x^2 + π *r^2  

A=  ( (77 -  (π  r ))/4   ) ^2                       +  π *r^2    

A=(5929- (144 *  π  r )  + π^2  r^2)/ 16  + π *r^2    

A= 370.56 - 9  π  r   +   π^2  r^2/16  +  π *r^2      

A= 370.56 - 28.26  r   +  0.616r^2  +  3.14*r^2  =

A= 370.56 -  28.26   r   +  3.756  r^2        

Differentiate the equation to find the lowest point

370.56 -  28.26   r   +  3.756  r^2

- 28.26   +  7.512 r = 0

r=  28.26  / 7.512

r = 3.76 cm

Radius of circle when A minimum is 3.76cm, then the perimeter will be: 2 *  π  *3.76=  23.62 cm

PLEASE HELP I REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND HOW TO DO THESE QUESTIONS!!!!! THANK YOU I APPRECIATE YOU!!!!

Answer:

a) $42,580

b) $43,900

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall, "mode" refers to the value which occurs most frequently.

In this case, the question says that there are 2 modes,

this means $34,000 and $50,500 both share the spot for the most frequently appearing salary.

because there are only 5 employees (and hence 5 salaries), the only possible way that there are two modes is if there are two of each mode, leaving only the last salary unknown.

i.e  if we list the 5 salaries (in no particular order)

$34,000   $34,000  $50,500   $50,500   $ x

where x is the 5th unknown salary.

Given that the mean is $42,100

Then (34,000 + 34,000 + 50,500 + 50,500 + x) / 5 = 42,100

solving for x gives x = $41,500

Now we know all the values, we can rearrange them in increasing value:

$34,000   $34,000  $41,500   $50,500   $50,500  

from this, we can see that the median salary is $41,500

Given that the median salary gets a $2400 raise,

the new median salary = $41,500 + $2400 = $43,900 (Ans for part b)

new mean salary,

= ($34,000  + $34,000 + $43,900 +  $50,500  + $50,500  ) / 5

= $42,580 (answer for part a)
