Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the rectangular pen and y represent the width of the rectangular pen. Since the total area of the pen is 169 ft², hence:

Area = length * width

169 = xy

y = 169/x

Also the perimeter of the rectangular pen is:

Perimeter (P) = 2(length + width)

P = 2(x + y)

P = 2x + 2y

P = 2x + 2(169/x)

P = 2x + 338/x

The least amount of fencing is at dP/dx = 0, hence:

dP/dx = 2 - 338/x² = 0

338/x² = 2

2x² = 338

x² = 169

x = 13 feet

y = 169 / x = 169/13 = 13 feet

The least amount of fencing = P = 2(x + y) =  2(13 + 13) = 52 feet

9. The endpoints of a diameter of a circle are A (2,1) and B(5,5). Find the area of the circle in terms of . (1 point)
Georgia [21]

Answer:

Area of the circle is 6.25π sq.unit

Step-by-step explanation:

The centre of the circle is at the mid point of a diameter. Th mid point of the diameter is at (5+22,5+12)or(72,3),which is centre. Radius is the distance from end point (5,5)to centre (72,3)∴r=√(5−72)2+(5−3)2=√1.52+4=√6.25=2.5∴

Area of the circle is Ac=π⋅r2=π⋅2.52=6.25π sq.unit[Ans]
