In this item, it is assumed that since the pattern is cut out of the paper which is usually a rectangle then, the shape of the pattern is also rectangle. The perimeter of the rectangle is,
P = 2L + 2W
The area is equal to,
Area = L x W
If we assume that length and width are equal, in order to maximize the space.
1600 cm² = L x L
The value of L from the equation is 40 cm.
1 gallon is 16 cups, so that means that half a gallon is 8 cups. Therefore, from 1 and 1/2 gallons of soup you can get 24 1 cup servings.
35 is your answer (I did it on a triangle calculator)
Answer:
To determine the nature of roots of quadratic equations (in the form ax^2 + bx +c=0) , we need to calculate the discriminant, which is b^2 - 4 a c. When discriminant is greater than zero, the roots are unequal and real. When discriminant is equal to zero, the roots are equal and real.
