Answer:

  the maximum area is 256 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

It is well-known that the rectangle of given perimeter with maximum area is a square. A square with a perimeter of 64 inches has a side length of 64/4 = 16 inches. The area of that square is the square of the side length, ...

   (16 in)^2 = 256 in^2

_____

<em>Derivation of the well-known fact</em>

Let P represent the perimeter of a rectangle with side lengths x and (P/2 -x). The area is the product of these dimensions:

  A = x(P/2 -x)

This is the equation of a downward-opening parabola with zeros at x=0 and at x=P/2. The vertex (maximum) is halfway between these zeros, at x=P/4. Hence, the dimensions of the rectangle are ...

  x = P/4 . . . . . . . . . . . length

  (P/2 -P/4) = P/4 . . . . width

The length and width are the same, and both are 1/4 of the perimeter, so the rectangle is a square. Its area in terms of perimeter is ...

   A = (P/4)^2 = P^2/16

Find the measures of all four angles if 3·(m∠1+m∠3) = m∠2+m∠4.
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠1=m∠3

m∠2=m∠4

3*(m∠1+m∠3)=m∠2+m∠4

3*(m∠1+m∠1)=m∠2+m∠2

3×2 m∠1=2 m∠2

m∠2=3 m∠1

now m∠1+m∠2=180°

m∠1+3 m ∠1=180

4 m∠1=180

m∠1=180/4=45°

m∠3=45°

m∠2=180-m∠1=180-45=135°

m∠4=135°
