Geography

Social norms and discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation and race may place certain groups in a more vulnerable position than others. In places where men are raised to be breadwinners, families prioritize boys' education over girls', thereby making women more likely to be poor and less educated than men.

Answer:

In explanation you see the answer but it I see it send it  different  so I just added a file so you can see clearly the way how this exercise works. Please, see the file attached

Explanation:

Let x = circumference of the circle

then

(53-x) = the perimeter of the square

and \frac{53-\times}{4} = the side of the square

and

\left(\frac{53-\times}{4}\right)^2 = the area of the square

:

Find the area of the circle using the circumference

find the radius (r)

2*pi*r = x

r = \frac{\times}{2*\mathbit{\pi}}

r = \frac{\times}{6.28}

Find the area of the circle

\mathbit{A}=\pi r^2

Replace r with \frac{\times}{6.28}

A = π * \left(\frac{\times}{6.28}\right)^2=  * \left(\frac{\times^2}{39.48}\right)      

cancel pi into 39.48

A =  \left(\frac{\times^2}{12.566}\right)

Total area of circle and square

A =  \left(\frac{\times^2}{12.566}\right)+\left(\frac{53-\times}{4}\right)^2  = \left(\frac{\times^2}{12.566}\right)  + \left(\frac{{2809-106\times+\times}^2}{16}\right)

:

convert these fractions to decimal coefficients

A(x) = .0796x^2 + .0625x^2 - 6.625x + 175.5625

A(x) = .1421x^2 - 6.625x + 175.5625

:

Find the axis of symmetry of this quadratic equation (min area)

x =   \frac{-\left(-6.625\right)}{2*.1421}

x =   \frac{6.625}{.2842}

x = 23.31 cm is the circumference when they have min area
