Answer:

It will be an equilateral triangle and the area is 1924.5 sq. meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total length of the fencing of 200 meters is utilized then the perimeter of the triangle will be 200 meters.

Now, we know that the type of triangle that gives the maximum area for a given perimeter is an equilateral triangle.

So, the equilateral triangle with a perimeter of 200 meters will have side lengths of \frac{200}{3} meters.

Now, the area of an equilateral triangle with sides a units is given by \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} a^{2} sq. units.

So, the area of the above equilateral triangle will be = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times (\frac{200}{3})^{2} = 1924.5 sq. meters. (Answer)

If an item that originally cost $13 is increased to $19, what is the percentage of increase in the item?
Evgesh-ka [11]
Original cost (OC) = $13

New cost (NC) = $19

Percentage increase = \frac{NC - OC}{OC} *100 =  \frac{19 - 13}{13} * 100 =  \frac{6}{13} * 100

= 46.15 %

For the mean, add together all of the numbers together (let's call the total x) and count how many numbers there are. (let's call this number y). divide x by y, and that is your mean. for the median, put all the numbers in order, and the median is the number in the middle. if there are two numbers in the middle, add them together and divide them by 2.
