Answer: A 24 cm piece of string is cut into two pieces , one piece is used to form a circle and the other piece is used to form a square.
How should this string be cut so that the sum of the areas is a minimum .
:
Let x = the circumference of the circle
then
(24-x) = the perimeter of the square
:
Find the area of the circle
find r
2*pi*r = x
r =
Find the area of the circle
A =
A =
A = sq/cm, the area of the circle
:
Find the area of the square
A = sq/cm the area of the square
The total area
At = +
Graph this equation, find the min
Min occurs when x=10.6 cm
cut string 10.6 cm from one end
Step-by-step explanation: Hope I help out alot (-: :-)
<span>the equation that most accurately depicts the word problem
is
3xn=$3.85
proof
n=</span>
<span>n=$3.85/3=$1.28
the price is $1.28 per pound, 3 pound costs 3x$1.28=$3.85
