Grandma has just finished baking a large rectangular pan of brownies. She is planning to make rectangular pieces of equal size a

nd shape, with straight cuts parallel to the sides of the pan. Each cut must be made entirely across the pan. Grandma wants to make the same number of interior pieces as pieces along the perimeter of the pan. What is the greatest possible number of brownies she can produce

Answer: 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side lengths of the rectangular pan be m and n. It follows that (m-2)  (n-2)= mn/2

So, since haf of the brownie pieces are in the interior. This gives 2 (m-2) (n-2) =mn

mn- 2m - 2n- 4 = 0

Then Adding 8 to both sides and applying, we obtain (m-2) (n-2) =8

Since now, m and n are both positive, we obtain (m,n) = (5,12), (6,8) (up to ordering). By inspection, 5. 12 = 60

which maximizes the number of brownies in total which is the greatest number.

Hope that helped! =)

a ship leave port p and sails on a bearing N50 degree E to Port Q 15km away.then it sails on a bearing of S45 degree E to Port R
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Port r is 100° from Port p and 26km from Port p

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets note the dimension.

From p to q = 15 km = a

From q to r = 20 km= b

Angle at q = 50° + 45°

Angle at q = 95°

Ley the unknown distance be x

Distance from p to r is the unknown.

The formula to be applied is

X²= a²+ b² - 2abcosx

X²= 15² + 20² - 2(15)(20)cos95

X²= 225+400-(-52.29)

X²= 677.29

X= 26.02

X is approximately 26 km

To know it's direction from p

20/sin p = 26/sin 95

Sin p= 20/26 * sin 95

Sin p = 0.7663

P= 50°

So port r is (50+50)° from Port p

And 26 km far from p

If AM = x + 8 and MB= 6x – 2, find MB.
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, AM=x+8

or, A=x+8-M......eqn (i)

MB=6x-2

or, B=6x-2-M......eqn (ii)

Now,

from eqn (i) and (ii)

x+8-M=6x-2-M

or, 8+2=6x-x-M+M

or, 10=5x

or, 10÷5=x

therefore, x=2

Again,

MB=6x-2

=6×2-2

=12-2

=10

is it correct
