A Norman window is a rectangle with a semicircle on top. Suppose that the perimeter of a particular Norman window is to be 25 fe

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

$Length =\frac{25}{4 + \pi}$ and $Width = \frac{50}{4+\pi}$

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is better understood with an attachment.

See attachment for illustration.

Given

<em>Represent Perimeter with P</em>

$P = 25ft$

Required

Determine the dimension of the rectangle that maximizes the area

First, we calculate the perimeter of the rectangular part of the window.

From the attachment, the rectangle is not closed at the top.

So, The perimeter would be the sum of the three closed sides

Where

$Width = 2x$

$Length = y$

So:

$P_{Rectangle} = y + y + 2x$

$P_{Rectangle} = 2y + 2x$

Next, we determine the circumference of the semi circle.

Circumference of a semicircle is calculated as:

$C = \frac{1}{2}\pi r$

From the attachment,

$Radius (r) = x$

So, we have:

$C = \frac{1}{2}2\pi * x$

$C = \pi x$

So, the perimeter of the window is:

$P = P_{Rectangle} + C$

$P =2y + 2x + \pi x$

Recall that: $P = 25$

So, we have:

$25 =2y + 2x +\pi x$

Make 2y the subject

$2y = 25 - 2x - \pi x$

Make y the subject:

$y = \frac{25}{2} - \frac{2x}{2} - \frac{\pi x}{2}$

$y = \frac{25}{2} - x - \frac{\pi x}{2}$

Next, we determine the area (A) of the window

A = Area of Rectangle + Area of Semicircle

$A = 2x * y + \frac{1}{2}\pi r^2$

$A = 2xy + \frac{1}{2}\pi r^2$

Recall that

$Radius (r) = x$

$A = 2xy + \frac{1}{2}\pi x^2$

Substitute $\frac{25}{2} - x - \frac{\pi x}{2}$ for y in $A = 2xy + \frac{1}{2}\pi x^2$

$A = 2x(\frac{25}{2} - x - \frac{\pi x}{2}) + \frac{1}{2}\pi x^2$

Open Bracket

$A = 2x * \frac{25}{2} - 2x * x - 2x * \frac{\pi x}{2} + \frac{1}{2}\pi x^2$

$A = 25x - 2x^2 - \pi x^2 + \frac{1}{2}\pi x^2$

$A = 25x - 2x^2 - \frac{1}{2}\pi x^2$

To maximize area, we have to determine differentiate both sides and set A' = 0

Differentiate

$A' = 25 - 4x - \pi x$

$A' = 0$

So, we have:

$0 = 25 - 4x - \pi x$

Factorize:

$0 = 25 -x(4 + \pi)$

$-25 =-x(4 + \pi)$

Solve for x

$x = \frac{-25}{-(4+\pi)}$

$x = \frac{25}{4+\pi}$

Recall that

$Width = 2x$

$Width = 2(\frac{25}{4+\pi})$

$Width = \frac{50}{4+\pi}$

Recall that:

$y = \frac{25}{2} - x - \frac{\pi x}{2}$

Substitute $\frac{25}{4+\pi}$ for x

$y = \frac{25}{2} - (\frac{25}{4+\pi}) - \frac{\pi (\frac{25}{4+\pi})}{2}$

$y = \frac{25}{2} - (\frac{25}{4+\pi}) - \frac{\frac{25\pi}{4+\pi}}{2}$

$y = \frac{25}{2} - (\frac{25}{4+\pi}) - \frac{25\pi}{4+\pi} * \frac{1}{2}$

$y = \frac{25}{2} - \frac{25}{4+\pi} - \frac{25\pi}{2(4+\pi)}$

$y = \frac{25(4+\pi) - 25 * 2 - 25\pi}{2(4 + \pi)}$

$y = \frac{100+25\pi - 50 - 25\pi}{2(4 + \pi)}$

$y = \frac{100- 50+25\pi - 25\pi}{2(4 + \pi)}$

$y = \frac{50}{2(4 + \pi)}$

$y = \frac{25}{4 + \pi}$

Recall that:

$Length = y$

So:

$Length =\frac{25}{4 + \pi}$

Hence, the dimension of the rectangle is:

<em></em> $Length =\frac{25}{4 + \pi}$ <em> and </em> $Width = \frac{50}{4+\pi}$ <em></em>

Tomas has a garden with a length of 2.45 meters and a width of 5/8 meters. Use benchmarks to estimate the area and perimeter of

Alchen [17]

Answer: The area is 1 1/4. The perimeter is 6.

Step-by-step explanation: 2.45 is about 2.5. 5/8 is about 1/2. To find the area we need to multiply length times width. 2.5 is 2 and 1/2 which is 5/2. 5/2 times 1/2 is 5/4. To simplify it divide 5 by 4 which is 1 with remainder 1. 5/4 is 1 1/4. Therefore the area is 1 1/4 meters squared. To find the perimeter we have to add length + length + width + width. . 2.5 is the same thing as 2 1/2. 5/8 is about 1/2 if we use benchmarks. 2 1/2 + 2 1/2 + + 1/2 + 1/2 is 6. The perimeter is 6.
