Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the well-known Pythagorian theorem we can write this equation:

7^2=13+b^2 -> b^2=49-13=36

The square root of 36 is obviously 6.

So, the other leg has a length of 6 inches :)

Find the dimensions of the rectangle of largest area that has its base on the x-axis and its other two vertices above the x-axis

Igoryamba

let 2x be the length of rectangw where x is value of x of point on parabola width is represented as y is the length.

Area = 2x*y = 2x (5-x^2) = 10x -2x^3
maximize Area by finding x value where derivative is zero
dA/dx = 10 -6x^2 = 0
--> x = sqrt(5/3)

optimal dimensions: length = 2sqrt(5/3) width = 10/3
