A wire b units long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into an equilateral triangle and the other is bent into a circle.

mezya [45]

1. Divide wire b in parts x and b-x.

2. Bend the b-x piece to form a triangle with side (b-x)/3

There are many ways to find the area of the equilateral triangle. One is by the formula A= $\frac{1}{2}sin60^{o}side*side= \frac{1}{2} \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} (\frac{b-x}{3}) ^{2}= \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}(b-x)^{2}$
A= $\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}(b-x)^{2}=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}( b^{2}-2bx+ x^{2} )=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}b^{2}-\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}bx+ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}x^{2}$

Another way is apply the formula A=1/2*base*altitude,
where the altitude can be found by applying the pythagorean theorem on the triangle with hypothenuse (b-x)/3 and side (b-x)/6

3. Let x be the circumference of the circle.

$2 \pi r=x$

so $r= \frac{x}{2 \pi }$

Area of circle = $\pi r^{2}= \pi ( \frac{x}{2 \pi } )^{2} = \frac{ \pi }{ 4 \pi ^{2} }* x^{2} = \frac{1}{4 \pi } x^{2}$

4. Let f(x)= $\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}b^{2}-\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}bx+ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}x^{2}+\frac{1}{4 \pi } x^{2}$

be the function of the sum of the areas of the triangle and circle.

5. f(x) is a minimum means f'(x)=0

f'(x)= $\frac{ -\sqrt{3} }{18}b+ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}x+\frac{1}{2 \pi } x$ =0

$\frac{ -\sqrt{3} }{18}b+ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}x+\frac{1}{2 \pi } x=0$

$(\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}+\frac{1}{2 \pi }) x=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}b$

$x= \frac{\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}b}{(\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}+\frac{1}{2 \pi }) }$

6. So one part is $\frac{\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}b}{(\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}+\frac{1}{2 \pi }) }$ and the other part is b- $\frac{\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}b}{(\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}+\frac{1}{2 \pi }) }$

Justify whether the solution makes sense.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

They are identical triangles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

The triangle with 39 and 90 has a missing angle of 51 degrees, and the triangle with 51 and 90 vice versa.

Find the dimensions of an American football field. The length is 200 ft more than the width, and the perimeter is 1,040 ft. Find

natka813 [3]

Answer:

The width of the football field is 160 feet.

The length of the football field is 360 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent width of the football field.

We have been given that the length is 200 ft more than the width, so the length of the field would be $w+200$ .

We are also told that the perimeter is 1,040 ft. We know that football field is in form of rectangle, so perimeter of field would be 1 times the sum of length and width. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$2(w+w+200)=1040$
