Answer:

The width and length of rectangle is 12.728 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle = L

let the width of the rectangle = W

The subjective function is given by;

F(p) = 2(L + W)

F = 2L + 2W

Area of the rectangle is given by;

A = LW

LW = 162 ft²

L = 162 / W

Substitute in the value of L into subjective function;

f = 2l + 2w\\\\f = 2(\frac{162}{w} )+2w\\\\f = \frac{324}{w} + 2w\\\\\frac{df}{dw} = \frac{-324}{w^2} +2\\\\

Take the second derivative of the function, to check if it will given a minimum perimeter

\frac{d^2f}{dw^2}= \frac{648}{w^3} \\\\Thus, \frac{d^2f}{dw^2}>0, \ since,\frac{648}{w^3} >0 \ (minimum \ function \ verified)

Determine the critical points of the first derivative;

df/dw = 0

\frac{-324}{w^2} +2 = 0\\\\-324 + 2w^2=0\\\\2w^2 = 324\\\\w^2 = \frac{324}{2} \\\\w^2 = 162\\\\w= \sqrt{162}\\\\w = 12.728 \ m

L = 162 / 12.728

L = 12.728 m

Therefore, the width and length of rectangle is 12.728 m

The USS Enterprise was 1,123 feet in length.
Kitty [74]

Answer:

The scale for a model that is 30 inches long is 449.2 inches.

The scale for a model that is  2 feet long is 561.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The USS Enterprise was 1,123 feet in length.

Part (A) What is the scale for a model that is 30 inches long?

1 feet = 12 inches.

First  convert the length of USS enterprise in inches.

1×1,123 feet = 12×1,123 inches

1,123 feet = 13476 inches

Divide original length with the length of model.

The scale for the model is:

\frac{13476}{30}=449.2\ inches

Hence, the scale for a model that is 30 inches long is 449.2 inches.

Part (B)  What is the scale for a model that is 2 feet long?

Since, both the units are in feet, so simply divide original length with the length of model.

The scale for the model is:

\frac{1123}{2}=561.5\ feet

Hence, the scale for a model that is  2 feet long is 561.5 feet.
