1. Divide wire b in parts x and b-x.
2. Bend the b-x piece to form a triangle with side (b-x)/3
There are many ways to find the area of the equilateral triangle. One is by the formula A=

A=

Another way is apply the formula A=1/2*base*altitude,
where the altitude can be found by applying the pythagorean theorem on the triangle with hypothenuse (b-x)/3 and side (b-x)/6
3. Let x be the circumference of the circle.

so

Area of circle =

4. Let f(x)=

be the function of the sum of the areas of the triangle and circle.
5. f(x) is a minimum means f'(x)=0
f'(x)=

=0



6. So one part is

and the other part is b-
Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
20+2(3*7 - 4*4)
20+2(21-16)
20+2*5
20+10
30
Answer:
1/25
Step-by-step explanation:
1 m = 100 cm
4m x 100 = 400 cm
If it is 16 cm long, then the scale factor is 16/400, which simplifies to 1/25.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
Confidence interval = mean ± margin of error
CI = μ ± ME
The mean is μ = 8.7.
Margin of error = critical value × standard error
ME = CV × SE
At 95% confidence and 9 degrees of freedom, CV = 2.262.
SE = s / √n
SE = 3.3 / √10
SE = 1.04
The margin of error is:
ME = 2.262 × 1.04
ME = 2.36
CI = 8.7 ± 2.36
CI = (6.34, 11.06)
