The length of a rectangle is x. The length and width add up to 10 inches. What is the maximum area of the rectangle? Please provide steps on how solve!

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]Area=25\,\,in^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the rectangle is unknown and is defined with the letter "x". Notice that the width of the rectangle is also unknown, so we can name it 'y".

Recall the formula for the area of a rectangle (length times width), and notice that it is this quantity the one we need to maximize (find the maximum possible value).

We use the other information provided to represent the rectangle's with (y) in terms of "x" :

length + width = 10 inches

x + y = 10

Therefore,   y = 10 - x

Now we use this expression for "y" in the product for the area;

[tex]Area= x\,*\,y\\Area=x\,(10-x)\\Area=10x-x^2\\Area=-x^2+10x[/tex]

Notice that this quadratic expression corresponds to a parabola with branches pointing down (negative leading term), so its maximum value would be given at the vertex of the parabola.

Now recall that the formula for the x-value of a parabola's vertex when its function is of the form [tex]f(x)=ax^2+bx+c[/tex]

is given by:

[tex]x_{vertex}=-\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

which in our case where "a" = -1 and "b" = +10, gives:

[tex]x_{vertex}=-\frac{b}{2a}\\x_{vertex}=\frac{-10}{2(-1)}\\x_{vertex}=\frac{-10}{-2}\\x_{vertex}=5[/tex]

Then the maximum value for the Area can be obtained by replacing "x" with "5" in the area formula:

[tex]Area=-x^2+10x\\Area=-(5)^2+10\,(5)\\Area=-25+50\\Area=25\,\,in^2[/tex]

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is [tex]25\,\,in^2[/tex]

A jar of quarters and dimes contains $20.00. There are 110 coins in all. How many of each are there?

Answers

Answer:

There are 50 dimes and 110-50 = 60 quarters in the collection.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let D be the number of dimes.

Then the number of quarters is (110-D).

The "value equation" is

10D + 25*(110-D) = 2000.

Simplify and solve for D:

10D + 2750 - 25D = 2000,

-15D = 2000 - 2750,

-15D = -750,

D = %28-750%29%2F%28-15%29 = 50.

Explanation:

Elise's number is x.

Elise's number is -154/7+16 = -6

What is the mean of 12, 24, 24, and 52

Answers

The mean basically means the average number between all numbers given. You can find the mean by adding them together and diving by the number of numbers. In this case, 12 + 24 + 24 + 52= 112. Divide 112 by 4 and the answer is 28. Therefore, the mean is 28.

Answer:

Mean = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = [tex]\frac{sum of observations}{number of observations}[/tex]

Mean = [tex]\frac{12+24+24+52}{4}[/tex]

Mean = [tex]\frac{112}{4}[/tex]

A rectangular prism and a square pyramid were joined to form a composite figure.


A rectangular prism with a length of 9 inches, width of 9 inches, and height of 5 inches. A square pyramid with triangular sides with a base of 9 inches and height 4 inches.
[Not drawn to Scale]

What is the surface area of the figure?
261 in.2
333 in.2
405 in.2
477 in.2

Answers

Answer:

B. 333 in.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the base is 81^2

lateral is 45 x 4 = 180^2  (9x5x4)

180^2 add the 72 pyramid = 252^2 + base of 81^2 = 333^2

Composite figueres i do like this as shown to you a few seconds ago.

The triangle shows us just the height

4 inches

We can see that height is smaller central isosceles height across the center base point.

We also can remember to use the length 9inches but divide by 2 and get each triangle area this way.

4 x 1/2 base = 4x 1/2 4.5 = 4 x 2.25 = 9^2 each right side triangle

9 x 8 = 72^2

we add the areas 72+ 81+lateral 180 = 333 inches^2

A girl flying a kite lets out 130 feet of string that makes an angle of 52° with the ground. If the string forms a straight line, how high is the kite above the ground? Hint: Draw a picture (triangle) and label. 80.04 feet 102.44 feet 166.39 feet 164.97 feet

Answers

Answer:

The height of the kite above the ground is 102 .44 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the height of the kite above the ground, we will follow the steps below:

let h represent the height of the kite above the ground

we will use trigonometric ratio to solve

SOH CAH TOA

sinФ = opposite/hypotenuse

cosФ=adjacent / hypotenuse

tanФ=opposite / adjacent

from the diagram below

opposite = h

hypotenuse = 130 feet

Ф = 52°

The best trig ratio to use is sin

sin Ф = opposite / hypotenuse

sin52° = h / 130

cross-multiply

h = 130 sin 52°

h=102.44°

The height of the kite above the ground is 102 .44 feet

Find the measure of the largest angle in the diagram below. (Type the
number only).

Answers

Answer: 112

2x+3x+10=180

5x=170

x=34

3x+10=112

The measure of the largest angle in the diagram is 112 degrees.

What is Angle?

An angle is formed when two straight lines or rays meet at a common endpoint.

The sum of two angles is 180 degrees when they are complementary.

2x+3x+10=180

Two times of x plus three times of x plus ten equal to one hundred eighty.

5x+10=180

Five times of x plus ten equal to one hundred eighty.

Subtract 10 from both the sides

5x=170

Divide both sides by 5

x=34

Now substitute x value in 3x+10 which is largest angle.

3(34)+10

102+10

112

Hence,  the measure of the largest angle in the diagram is 112 degrees.
