Answer:  width = 2.4 in, length = 5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The max area of a right triangle is half the area of the original triangle.

Area of the triangle = (6 x 8)/2  = 24

--> area of rectangle = 24 ÷ 2 = 12

Next, let's find the dimensions.

The length is adjacent to the hypotenuse. Since we know the area is half, we should also know that the length will be half of the hypotenuse.

length = 10 ÷ 2 = 5

Use the area formula to find the width:

A = length x width

12 = 5 w

12/5 = w

2.4 = w

1)cot a/2 -tan a/2 = 2 cot a<br>2) cot b/2 + tan b/2= 2 cosec b<br> prove​
VladimirAG [237]
1)

LHS = cot(a/2) - tan(a/2)

= (1 - tan^2(a/2))/tan(a/2)

= (2-sec^2(a/2))/tan(a/2)

= 2cot(a/2) - cosec(a/2)sec(a/2)

= 2(1+cos(a))/sin(a) - 1/(cos(a/2)sin(a/2))

= 2 (1+cos(a))/sin(a) - 2/sin(a)) (product to sums)

= 2[(1+cos(a) -1)/sin(a)]

=2cot a

= RHS

2.

LHS = cot(b/2) + tan(b/2)

= [1 + tan^2(b/2)]/tan(b/2)

= sec^2(b/2)/tan(b/2)

= 1/sin(b/2)cos(b/2)

using product to sums

= 2/sin(b)

= 2cosec(b)

= RHS

The graph of f ′ (x), the derivative of f of x, is continuous for all x and consists of five line segments as shown below. Given
Rom4ik [11]

f'(x)\ge0 for all x in [-3, 0], so f(x) is non-decreasing over this interval, and in particular we know right away that its minimum value must occur at x=-3.

From the plot, it's clear that on [-3, 0] we have f'(x)=-x. So

f(x)=\displaystyle\int(-x)\,\mathrm dx=-\dfrac{x^2}2+C

for some constant C. Given that f(0)=7, we find that

7=-\dfrac{0^2}2+C\implies C=7

so that on [-3, 0] we have

f(x)=-\dfrac{x^2}2+7

and

f(-3)=\dfrac52=2.5

Two lions, Fluffy and Fireball, met at the zoo. Fluffy tail is 1 1/3 of a meter long. Fireball's tail is 1 1/4 of a meter long.
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Fluffy's tail is 1/12 of a meter longer than Fireball's tail.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 1/3 - 1 1/4 = x

get common denominator (12)

1 4/12 - 1 3/12 = 1/12
