The perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet. The length of the rectangle is 6 feet. What are the possible meas

urements of the width? Write an inequality to represent this problem. Use w to represent the width of the parallelogram. [Hint: The formula for finding the perimeter of a parallelogram is P = 2 l + 2 w . What is the smallest possible measurement of the width? Justify your answer by showing all your work.

Answer: 14\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of rectangle is 6\ ft

Perimeter must be greater than 40 ft

Suppose l and w be the length and width of the rectangle

\Rightarrow \text{Perimeter P=}2(l+w)\\\Rightarrow P\geq 40\\\Rightarrow 2(l+w)\geq40\\\Rightarrow l+w\geq20\\\Rightarrow w\geq20-6\\\Rightarrow w\geq14\ ft

So, the smallest width can be 14\ ft

A man hits a baseball when it is 4 ft above the ground with an initial velocity of 120 ft/sec. The ball leaves the bat at a 30 d
Sauron [17]
<span>et us assume that the origin is the floor right below the 30 ft. fence

To work this one out, we'll start with acceleration and integrate our way up to position.

At the time that the player hits the ball, the only force in action is gravity where: a = g (vector)
ax = 0
ay = -g (let's assume that g = 32.8 ft/s^2. If you use a different value for gravity, change the numbers.

To get the velocity of the ball, we integrate the acceleration
vx = v0x = v0cos30 = 103.92
vy = -gt + v0y = -32.8t + v0sin40 = -32.8t + 60

To get the positioning, we integrate the speed.
x = v0cos30t + x0 = 103.92t - 350
y = 1/2*(-32.8)t² + v0sin30t + y0 = -16.4t² + 60t + 4

If the ball clears the fence, it means x = 0, y > 30

x = 0 -> 103.92 t - 350 = 0 -> t = 3.36 seconds

for t = 3.36s,
y = -16.4(3.36)^2 + 60*(3.36) + 4
= 20.45 ft

which is less than 30ft, so it means that the ball will NOT clear the fence.


Just for fun, let's check what the speed should have been :)

x = v0cos30t + x0 = v0cos30t - 350
y = 1/2*(-32.8)t² + v0sin30t + y0 = -16.4t² + v0sin30t + 4

x = 0 -> v0t = 350/cos30
y = 30 ->
-16.4t^2 + v0t(sin30) + 4 = 30
-16.4t^2 + 350sin30/cos30 = 26
t^2 = (26 - 350tan30)/-16.4
t = 3.2s

v0t = 350/cos30 -> v0 = 350/tcos30 = 123.34 ft/s

So he needed to hit the ball at at least 123.34 ft/s to clear the fence.

You're welcome, Thanks please :)
