Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>To minimize the perimeter you should always have a square.
sqrt(289) = 17
The dimensions should be 17 X 17
To see , try starting at length 1, and gradually increase the length.
The height decreases at a faster rate than the length increases, up until you reach a square.
Or if you want to use algebra, Say the width is 17-x
Then the length is 289/(17-x)
Now, this is bigger than 17+x, as shown here:
289/(17-x) > 17+x
289 > 289 - x^2
which is true.
so the perimeter would be bigger than 2 * (17- x + 17 + x) = 2 * (2 * 17) = 4 * 17
Again, the dimensions should be a square. 17 X 17.</span>

Answer:
46 1/2 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Bus traveled at a constant speed ;
Miles traveled = 15 1/2 miles
Time taken for the travel = 1/3 of an hour
Number of miles bus will travel in 1 hours :
Let number of miles traveled in 1 hour = n
15 1/2 miles = 1/3 hour
n miles = 1 hour
Cross multiply :
1/3 * n = 15 1/2 * 1
1/3n = 31/2
Divide both sides by 1/3
n = 31/2 ÷ 1/3
n = 31/2 * 3/ 1
n = 93/2
n = 46.5 miles = 46 1/2 miles
