What is the shortest possible perimeter for an arrangement with an area of 15 square feet? Please get me the answer as soon as possible!!!!!!!!!!!

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The shortest possible perimeter is: [tex]4\sqrt{15}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]A = 15[/tex] --- area

Required

Find the shortest possible perimeter

Area is calculated as:

[tex]A=l * b[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]l * b = 15[/tex]

Make l the subject

[tex]l=\frac{15}{b}[/tex]

Perimeter is calculated as:

[tex]P =2(l + b)[/tex]

Substitute [tex]l=\frac{15}{b}[/tex]

[tex]P =2(\frac{15}{b} + b})[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]P =2(15b^{-1} + b)[/tex]

Differentiate and minimize;

[tex]P' =2(-15b^{-2} + 1)[/tex]

Minimize by equating P' to 0

[tex]2(-15b^{-2} + 1) = 0[/tex]

Divide through by 2

[tex]-15b^{-2} + 1 = 0[/tex]

[tex]-15b^{-2} = -1[/tex]

Divide through by -1

[tex]15b^{-2} = 1[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]\frac{15}{b^2} = 1[/tex]

Solve for b^2

[tex]b^2 = \frac{15}{1}[/tex]

[tex]b^2 = 15[/tex]

Solve for b

[tex]b = \sqrt{15[/tex]

Recall that: [tex]P =2(\frac{15}{b} + b})[/tex]

[tex]P = 2 * (\frac{15}{\sqrt{15}} + \sqrt{15})[/tex]

[tex]P = 2 * (\sqrt{15} + \sqrt{15})[/tex]

[tex]P = 2 * (2\sqrt{15})[/tex]

[tex]P = 4\sqrt{15}[/tex]

The shortest possible perimeter is: [tex]4\sqrt{15}[/tex]

A 180 pound weight is supported by two ropes each at 30 degrees, as shown in the figure. Find the tension in each rope.

Answers

Answer:

= 41.32N  

To find N amount

You find the kg weight then times it by 10 then divide that amount by 1/2

So that 180pounds = 81.6466 x 10kg

x10 = 816.466

81.6466 / 2 = 40.8233

sin(30) = 40.8233/T

T =  40.8233/sin (30) =  N / sin(30) = Tension = calculator = -41.3178070464 = 41.32 N

Answers

Answer:

x = 3/5√10

y = 2√10

Step-by-step explanation:

using the Pythagorean theorem:

y² = 7² - 3² = 49 - 9

y² = 40

y = 2√10

3/4.5 = y/5x

4.5y = 15x

substitute for y:

4.5(2√10) = 15x

15x = 9√10

divide both sides of the equation by 15:

x = (9√10)/15 = 3/5√10

Find the probability that a randomly selected points within a square falls in the blue shaded area (circle)

Answers

Answer:

78.8 %

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Area of the square = L²

A = L²

Where L = Length of the square.

From the diagram,

L = 4 in

Therefore,

A = 4²

A = 16 in².

Also,

Area of the circle (A') = πr²

Where r = radius of the circle.

Given: r = 2 in

Therefore,

A' = 22/7(2²)

A = 12.6 in²

Hence,

The probability that a randomly selected points within a square falls in the blue shaded area (Pr) = A'/A

Pr = 12.6/16

Pr = 0.7875

Pr(%) = 78.75

Pr(%) = 78.8 %

p-5 = 19

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Very simple.

p - 5 = 19

So to take out the -5 on that side, you must also do the same thing to the other side. So adding 5 in one side of the equal sign would mean you have to do the same thing on the other side of the equal sign.

SO:

p-5 +5 = 19+5

p = 24

P=26

26-5=19


(19+5 is also 26 so you can check your work that way)

Find the area of each regular polygon. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

13). Area of a square = (Side)²

                                   = (BC)²

     Since, diagonals of a square bisect each other at 90°,

     ΔBOC is a right triangle.

     By applying Pythagoras theorem in the given triangle,

     BC² = OB² + OC²

     BC² = 2(OB)²

     BC² = 2(7√2)²

     BC = [tex]\sqrt{196}[/tex]

     Area of square ABCD = (BC)²

                                          = (√196)²

                                          = 196 units²

14). Measure of interior angles of the regular hexagon = 120°

     Area of the regular hexagon = [tex]\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}(\text{side})^2[/tex]

      From the given picture,

      m∠BAC = m∠ABC = m∠ACB = 60°

      Therefore, ΔABC is an isosceles triangle.

      And all sides of this triangle will be equal in measure.

      AB = AC = BC = 9 units

      Area of the given regular hexagon = [tex]\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}(9)^2[/tex]

                                                                 = 210.44 square units

                                                                 ≈ 210.4 square units
