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

Hair colors are an example of which type of data?
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Nominal data are used to label variables without any quantitative value. Common examples include male/female (albeit somewhat outdated), hair color, nationalities, names of people, and so on. In plain English: basically, they're labels (and nominal comes from "name" to help you remember). You have brown hair (or brown eyes).
