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.

See attached picture.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is in point slope form where m is the slope and
is a point.
For the equation y-2 = 23(x+4), graph the point (-4,2). Then from this point count up 23 and over to the right 1.
This is the graph of the line.
