A rectangle has a perimeter of 30 ft. Find a function that models its area A in terms of the length x of one of its sides. What

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the other side of the rectangle be y. The perimeter of the rectangle is expressed as P = 2(x+y)

Given P = 30ft, on substituting P = 30 into the expression;

30 = 2(x+y)

x+y = 15

y = 15-x

Also since the area of the rectangle is xy;

A = xy

Substitute y = 15-x into the area;

A = x(15-x)

A = 15x-x²

The function that models its area A in terms of the length x of one of its sides is A = 15x-x²

The side of length x yields the greatest area when dA/dx = 0

dA/dx = 15-2x

15-2x = 0

-2x = -15

x = -15/-2

x = 7.5 ft

Hence the side length, x that yields the greatest area is 7.5ft.

Since y = 15-x

y = 15-7.5

y = 7.5

Area of the rectangle = 7.5*7.5

Area of the rectangle = 56.25ft²

Caitlin makes candles and sells them in her online shop. Tall candles cost $8 each and short candles cost $5 each. last month, s

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

tall candles = 39

Short candles = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

let tall candles be x

and short candles be y

No. Of candles sold = x + y =91

Money made from candles will be equal to = 8x + 5y = $572

These both are simultaneous linear equations.

x + y =91 ( multiply by 5)

5x + 5y = 455

8x + 5y = $572

Subtract them:

-3x = -117

x = -117/3

x = 39

put value of x in

x + y = 91

39 + y = 91

y = 91 - 39

y = 52

x shows tall candles so they are 39

y shows short candles so they are 52

Find the area of the composite figure will give extra 100 points out if answer is right and brainlyst

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Decompose the figure into two rectangles and add the areas.

Find the area of the entire rectangle and of the removed corner and subtract the areas.

Decompose the figure into three rectangles and add the areas.

Step-by-step explanation:

With all of these you can actually calculate the area of the composite figure, some of them are more easy and efficient than the other, for example dividing the composite area into three rectangles is not very efficient but will do the job, and the one where you decompose the area into two rectangles would be the best one, as well as the one where you find the area of the larger rectangle and the subtract from that the rectangle that is taken off in the right corner.

At 3:00 PM a man 138 cm tall casts a shadow 149 cm long. At the same time, a tall building nearby casts a shadow 163 m long. How

Andre45 [30]

The building is 151 meters tall

<h3>How to determine the height of the building?</h3>

From the question, we have the following parameters about the building and the man

Man's height = 138 cm

Man's shadow = 149 cm

Building's shadow = 163 m

Based on the above parameters, we have the following equivalent ratio:

Ratio = Height : Shadow

So, we have:

Man's height : Man's shadow = Building's height : Building's shadow

Substitute the known values in the above equation

138 cm : 149 cm = Building's height : 163 m

Remove the units

138 : 149 = Building's height : 163

Express as fraction

138 /149 = Building's height/163

Multiply both sides by 163

Building's height = 163 * 138 /149

Evaluate the product

Building's height = 151 m

Hence, the building is 151 meters tall

So, the complete parameters are:

Man's height = 138 cm

Man's shadow = 149 cm

Building's shadow = 163 m

Building's height = 151 m
