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.

Vanessa uses the expressions (3x2 + 5x + 10) and (x2 – 3x – 1) to represent the length and width of her patio. Which expression

butalik [34]

To find the answer to this, you have multiply both expressions by each other. To do this, you have to multiply each term in the first expression by each term in the second expressions. This yields the following: 3x^4-9x^3-3x^2+5x^3-15x^2-5x+10x^2-30x-10. Combing like terms and simplifying gives the final expression: 3x^4 - 4x^3 - 8x^2 - 35x - 10

In ΔABC, if AB = 14 and BC = 9, AC may be equal to

Pie

Answer:

AC could be any number of these numbers 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a fact in any triangle:

<em>The length of any side of a triangle must be greater than the difference of the lengths of the other two sides and smaller than the sum of the lengths of the other two sides</em>

If the lengths of the three sides of a triangle are a , b and c, then

a - b < c < a + b
b - c < a < b + c
a - c < b < a + c

In Δ ABC:

→ (BC) - (AC) < AB < (BC) + (AC)

→ (AB) - (AC) < BC < (AB) + (AC)

→ (AB) - (BC) < AC < (AB) + (BC)

∵ AB = 14 units

∵ BC = 9 units

- Find the sum and difference of them

∵ AB - BC = 14 - 9

∴ AB - BC = 5

∵ AB + BC = 14 + 9

∴ AB + BC = 23

- That means the length of AC could be any integer greater

than 5 and smaller than 23

∴ 5 < AC < 23

AC could be any number of these numbers 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22
