The perimeter is:
P = 2x + 2y = 80
The area is:
A = x * y
The area as a function of a variable is:
A (x) = x * (40-x)
Rewriting we have:
A (x) = 40x-x ^ 2
We derive the function:
A '(x) = 40-2x
We equal zero and clear x:
40-2x = 0
2x = 40
x = 40/2
x = 20 feet
The other dimension is:
y = 40 - x
y = 40 - 20
y = 20 feet
The area will be:
A = x * y
A = 20 * 20
A = 400 feet ^ 2
Answer:
The dimensions are:
x = 20 feet
y = 20 feet
The area is:
A = 400 feet ^ 2
Answer:
41/15
Step-by-step explanation:
I don't know
Well, your ratio given is 18 to 4. so multiply both numbers (18 and 4) by some number and you will have an equivalent ratio.
example: if you had 2 times as many people, then an equivalent ratio would be 18*2 to 4*2 = 36 to 8
The perimeter of each is the sum of the lengths of its sides.
Triangle Perimeter = 16 + 4x-3 +3x = 7x+13
Square Perimeter = 2x +2x +2x +2x = 8x
If these are equal, you have

The length of a side of the square is 26 units.
You subtract 38.75 from 46.5, which is 7.75. 7.75/46.5=about .16666, or 16.7 percent.
