Hello!

First, we must convert 51 1/8 and 38 1/4 to a decimal:

(51 × 8) + 1 = 409

Next, divide that by 8.

409 ÷ 8 = 51.125

Convert 38 1/4 using the same method.

(38 × 4) + 1 = 153

153 ÷ 4 = 38.25

The formula for perimeter is:

2l + 2w

Substitute:

2(51.125) + 2(38.25) = 178.75

The perimeter of the playground is A. 178.75 ft.

How do you find the area of a triangle when given only the lengths of three sides?
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Use Heron's formula; see below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Heron's formula.

Let the sides of the triangle have lengths a, b, and c.

s = \dfrac{a + b + c}{2}

area = \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}

Example:

A triangle has side lengths 3, 4, and 5 units.

Find the area of the triangle.

s = \dfrac{a + b + c}{2}

s = \dfrac{3 + 4 + 5}{2}

s = 6

area = \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}

area = \sqrt{6(6 - 3)(6 - 4)(6 - 5)}

area = \sqrt{6(3)(2)(1)}

area = \sqrt{36}

area = 6

Find the absolute maximum value for the function f(x) = x^2 − 4, on the interval [–3, 0) U (0, 2].
Andreyy89

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The function y=x^2 -4 is

  • decreasing for all x\in [-3,0);
  • is increasing for all x\in (0,2]

(see attached diagram for details).

The maximum value of the function is at endpoints -3 or 2. find y(-3) and y(2):

y(-3)=(-3)^2-4=9-4=5\\ \\y(2)=4^2-4=0

So, the maximum value is 5.
