Steve likes to entertain friends at parties with "wire tricks." Suppose he takes a piece of wire 60 inches long and cuts it into
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

a) the length of the wire for the circle = (\frac{60\pi }{\pi+4}) in

b)the length of the wire for the square = (\frac{240}{\pi+4}) in

c) the smallest possible area = 126.02 in² into two decimal places

Step-by-step explanation:

If one piece of wire for the square is y; and another piece of wire for circle is (60-y).

Then; we can say; let the side of the square be b

so 4(b)=y

         b=\frac{y}{4}

Area of the square which is L² can now be said to be;

A_S=(\frac{y}{4})^2 = \frac{y^2}{16}

On the otherhand; let the radius (r) of the  circle be;

2πr = 60-y

r = \frac{60-y}{2\pi }

Area of the circle which is πr² can now be;

A_C= \pi (\frac{60-y}{2\pi } )^2

     =( \frac{60-y}{4\pi } )^2

Total Area (A);

A = A_S+A_C

   = \frac{y^2}{16} +(\frac{60-y}{4\pi } )^2

For the smallest possible area; \frac{dA}{dy}=0

∴ \frac{2y}{16}+\frac{2(60-y)(-1)}{4\pi}=0

If we divide through with (2) and each entity move to the opposite side; we have:

\frac{y}{18}=\frac{(60-y)}{2\pi}

By cross multiplying; we have:

2πy = 480 - 8y

collect like terms

(2π + 8) y = 480

which can be reduced to (π + 4)y = 240 by dividing through with 2

y= \frac{240}{\pi+4}

∴ since y= \frac{240}{\pi+4}, we can determine for the length of the circle ;

60-y can now be;

= 60-\frac{240}{\pi+4}

= \frac{(\pi+4)*60-240}{\pi+40}

= \frac{60\pi+240-240}{\pi+4}

= (\frac{60\pi}{\pi+4})in

also, the length of wire for the square  (y) ; y= (\frac{240}{\pi+4})in

The smallest possible area (A) = \frac{1}{16} (\frac{240}{\pi+4})^2+(\frac{60\pi}{\pi+y})^2(\frac{1}{4\pi})

= 126.0223095 in²

≅ 126.02 in² ( to two decimal places)

A television is 28.5 inches wide and 16 inches long.
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

  33 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem tells you ...

  diagonal² = length² +width²

  diagonal² = (16 in)² +(28.5 in)² = 1068.25 in²

  diagonal = √(1068.25 in²) ≈ 32.684 in

The diagonal of the television is about 33 inches.

780 students stand in rows and columns. each row has an equal number of students and each column has an equal number of students
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of rows

780=x(x+4)

780=x^{2} +4x

x^{2} +4x-780=0\\(x+26)(x-30)=0\\x=30 \\x\neq -26\\

there are 26 rows and 30 students in each row 26*30=780

The commission earned on the sale of a car can be represented by the equation c(p)=250+0.02p where c represents the commission a
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

1) His total commission is $1,234.3

2) The purchase of the car is $24,790.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 21640*0.02= 432.8+ 250= 682.8

15075*0.02= 301.5+ 250= 551.5

682.8+ 551.5= 1,234.3

2) 745.8- 250= 495.8/ 0.02= 24,790
