A city park commission received a donation of playground equipment from a parents' organization. The area of the playground need

s to be 256 square yards for the children to use it safely. The playground will be rectangular. The city will also put a fence around the playground. The perimeter, P, of the fence includes the gates. To save money, the city wants the least perimeter of fencing for the area of 256 square yards. Jovana was trying to find a formula for that perimeter with one side 8 yards longer than the other side using the area. In which step did she make a mistake? Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: Step 4: Step 5: Step 6: Step 7: Explain her mistake. What is the correct formula?

A = (P/4)(P/2 - P/4)
= (P/4)^2

Therefore it is a square
Playground
256 yd^2
P least perimeter 

256 = (P/4)^2
P/4 = √256
= 16
P = 4*16
= 64

The least fencing is 64 yards.

Hope I helped!

Answer:

x^2- 8x - 256=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangular park = x

b= x

As the area of the park is given to be 256 Sq yards

length l=\frac{256}{x}

The perimeter of any rectangle is given as

P = 2(length * width )

Hence

P = 2 ( x + \frac{256}{x})

In order to find the perimeter , we need to find the value of x first . In order to find x we have to use the relation which says that length is 8 yards more width of the park.

that is

\frac{256}{x}=x+8

which will give us the quadratic equation. solving that we will get the value of x

Solve the system of linear equations by graphing. Round the solution to the nearest tenth as needed. Y + 2.3 = 0.45x and -2y = 4
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

(2.4, -1.2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by moving the x and the y to the same side and moving the number across the equal sign in both equations. We should now have y-0.45x=-2.3 and 2y+4.2x=7.8. We can use the elimination method by multiplying the first equation by -2 to get -2y+0.9x=4.6 and 2y+4.2x=7.8. From there, add the two equations together, eliminating y (-2+2=0). We now have 5.1x=12.4; divide both sides by 5.1 to get x=2.4. Then, in any of the two equations, let's use y-0.45x=-2.3, substitute x with 2.4. Now we have y-1.08=-2.3. Add 1.08 to both sides to get y=-1.22; round that to the nearest tenth to get -1.2.

grigory [225]

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

The number generator is not fair, in most of the experiments, considerably less than 60 % of the selected marbles are green.

And if Sixty percent of the marbles in the jar are green. A number generator should simulates randomly by selecting atleast one of the 60% of green marbles from the jar

The volume of the rectangular prism is 32 cubic feet more than the volume of the right triangular prism. Find the volume of each
Art [367]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the volume of a rectangular prism be VR and that of right triangular prism be VT. If The volume of the rectangular prism is 32 cubic feet more than the volume of the right triangular prism, then VR = 32 + VT

Since VR = length * width and height

VR = 6*x*3

VR = 18x ft³

Also VT =  Length *width * Height/2

VT = (7 * x * 4)/2

VT = 28x/2

VT = 14xft³

Since VR = 32 + VT

18x = 32+(14x)

collect like terms

18x-14x = 32

4x = 32

divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = 32/4

x = 8

Volume of the rectangular prism = 18x

Volume of the rectangular prism = 18*8

Volume of the rectangular prism = 144ft³

Volume of the right triangular prism = 14x

Volume of the rectangular prism = 14*8

Volume of the rectangular prism = 112ft³
