7. Which dimensions result in the minimum perimeter for a rectangle with area 42.0 cm2?
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
7. d. l = 6.48 cm, w = 6.48 cm
8. d. square
Step-by-step explanation:
For a given area, the perimeter can always be shortened by reducing the length of the long side and increasing the length of the short side. When you get to the point where you can't do that, then you have the minimum perimeter. You will reach that point when the sides are the same length: the rectangle is a square.
__
7. In light of the above, the best dimensions are √42 ≈ 6.48 cm for length and width.
__
8. In light of the above, the shape is a square.
_____
The attached graph shows the length of one side (x) and the associated perimeter. The other side is 42/x, which will also be 6.48.

Answer:
The density of the bar of gold is 19.32 grams per cubic centimeter .
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula
As given
A bar of gold has a volume of 722 cubic centimeters and weighs 13.949 kilograms.
As 1 kilogram = 1000 gram
Than convert 13.949 kilograms into grams.
13.949 kilograms = 13.949 × 1000 grams
= 13949 grams
Mass = 13949 grams
Volume = 722 cubic centimeter
As put in the formula
Density = 19.32 grams per cubic centimeter (Approx)
Therefore the density of the bar of gold is 19.32 grams per cubic centimeter .
