Answer:
(y^2)/4 square meters
Step-by-step explanation:
For a perimeter length of x, the side of a square will be x/4 and its area will be (x/4)^2.
If one side of the square is shortened by y/2 and the adjacent side is lengthened by y/2, then the difference in side lengths will be y. The area of the resulting rectangle will be ...
(x/4 -y/2)(x/4 +y/2) = (x/4)^2 -(y/2)^2
That is, the difference in area between the square and the rectangle is ...
(x/4)^2 - ((x/4)^2 -(y/2)^2) = (y/2)^2 = y^2/4
The positive difference between the area of the square region and the area of the rectangular region is y^2/4 square meters.
Answer:
yeah tbh i wanna know to
Step-by-step explanation:
sorry
<span>1st train DATA:
rate = 50 mph ; time = x hrs ; distance = rt = 50x miles
2nd train DATA:
rate = 55 mph ; time = (x-(1/2)) hrs ; distance = rt = 55(x-(1/2)) miles
Equation:
distance = distance
50x = 55(x-(1/2)
50x = 55x - (55/2)
-5x = -55/2
x = 11/2
x = 5 1/2 hrs (time at which the 2nd train overtakes the 1st train)
Hope this helps!</span>
