Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

You don't need any real math to guess at the right answer.

Choice A requires at least 33+32+32=97 feet of fence, hence you  an rule it out because that is more fence than you have.

Choice B requires at least 16+16+16=48 feet, hence you can rule it out because it does not use all your fence and you can get more area by using it all.

Choice C requires at least 48+16+16=80 feet of fence, which is more than you have.

Choice D requires at least 32+16+16=64 feet of fence, so this is the right choice.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2L+W=64\\ \\ W=64-2L\\ \\ A=LW\\ \\ A=64L-2L^2\\ \\ \frac{dA}{dL}=64-4L=0\\ \\ 4L=64\\ \\ L=16\\ \\ W=64-2(16)\\ \\ W=32\\ \\ \text{So the lengths are 32ft by 16ft}

What is converse inverse and contrapostive?
Rufina [12.5K]

<span>rhythm of the falling rain answered 6 year<span>Given an if-then statement "if p, then q", we can create three related statements: 


A conditional statement consists of two parts, a hypothesis in the “if” clause and a conclusion in the “then” clause. 

For instance, “If it rains, then they will cancel school.” 
“It rains, “is the hypothesis. 
“They will cancel school,” is the conclusion. 

To form the converse of the conditional statement, interchange the hypothesis and the conclusion. 

The converse of “If it rains, then they will cancel school.” is 
“If they cancel school, then it rains.” 

To form the inverse of the conditional statement, take the negation of both the hypothesis and the conclusion. 

The inverse of “If it rains, then they will cancel school” is “If it does not rain, then they do not cancel school.” 

To form the contrapositive of the conditional statement, interchange the hypothesis and the conclusion of the inverse statement. 

The contrapositive of “If it rains, then they will cancel school” is “If they do not cancel school, then it does not rain.” 

Summary: 
Statement If p, then q. 
Converse If q, then p. 
Inverse If not p, then not q. 
Contrapositive If not q, then not p. 

If the statement is true, then the contrapositive is also logically true. If the converse is true, then the inverse is also logically true. 

Example: 
Statement If a person is 18 years old, then he is a legal adult. 
Converse If a person is a legal adult, then he is 18 years old. 
Inverse If a person is not 18 years old, then he is not a legal adult. 
Contrapositive If a person is not a legal adult, then he is not 18 years old.</span></span>

I Need Help Please And This Is Due In 1 Hour
alex41 [277]

So the first one is 1 square meter of ceiling, and it says 1 square meter of cieling is 10.75. <em>So the first one is just that, 10.75</em>

The second one says 10 square meters, so just multiply 10.75, by 10.

In which case you get <em>107.5.</em> So that's the answer.

Third one, it gives you how many ceiling tiles you have. So you divide the 100 tiles by 10.75, which gives you 9.30232558, which becomes <em>9.3</em>

I'm sure you can figure out the last one.
