A piece of wire 22 m long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an equilateral triangle. (a) How much wire should be used for the square in order to maximize the total area

Answers

Answer 1

9.56 m of the wire should be used for the square, to maximize the total area of the wire

Let x be the side length of the square.

So, the perimeter of the square is:

[tex]\mathbf{P_s=4x}[/tex]

Let y represent the side length of the equilateral triangle.

So, the perimeter of the triangle is:

[tex]\mathbf{P_t=3y}[/tex]

The length of the wire is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{P=22}[/tex]

This implies that:

[tex]\mathbf{P_s + P_t=22}[/tex]

Substitute values for Ps and Pt

[tex]\mathbf{4x + 3y=22}[/tex]

Make y the subject

[tex]\mathbf{y=\frac{22 -4x}3}[/tex]

For an equilateral triangle of side length y, the height (h) of the triangle is:

[tex]\mathbf{h =\frac y2\sqrt 3}[/tex]

The area of the triangle is then calculated as:

[tex]\mathbf{A_t = \frac 12 yh}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\mathbf{A_t = \frac 12 y\times \frac y2\sqrt 3}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{A_t = \frac{y^2}{4}\sqrt 3}[/tex]

The area of the square is:

[tex]\mathbf{A_s = x^2}[/tex]

So, the total area is:

[tex]\mathbf{A = A_s + A_t}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{A = x^2 + \frac{y^2}{4}\sqrt 3}[/tex]

Substitute [tex]\mathbf{y=\frac{22 -4x}3}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{A = x^2 + (\frac{22 - 4x}{3})^2 \times \frac{\sqrt 3}{4}}[/tex]

Differentiate

[tex]\mathbf{A' = 2x + \frac{\sqrt 3}{4} \times \frac 19 \times 2(22 - 4x) \times (-4)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{A' = 2x - \sqrt 3 \times \frac 19 \times 2(22 - 4x) }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{A' = 2x - \frac{2\sqrt 3}9 (22 - 4x) }[/tex]

Set to 0

[tex]\mathbf{2x - \frac{2\sqrt 3}9 (22 - 4x) = 0}[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]\mathbf{2x = \frac{2\sqrt 3}9 (22 - 4x) }[/tex]

Divide through by 2

[tex]\mathbf{x = \frac{\sqrt 3}9 (22 - 4x) }[/tex]

Multiply through by 9

[tex]\mathbf{9x = \sqrt 3 (22 - 4x) }[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]\mathbf{9x = 22\sqrt 3 - 4x\sqrt 3 }[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]\mathbf{9x +4x\sqrt 3= 22\sqrt 3 }[/tex]

Factor out x

[tex]\mathbf{x(9 +4\sqrt 3)= 22\sqrt 3 }[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]\mathbf{x= \frac{22\sqrt 3}{9 +4\sqrt 3} }[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]\mathbf{x= \frac{38.11}{9 +6.93} }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x= \frac{38.11}{15.93} }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x= 2.39 }[/tex]

Recall that, the perimeter of the square is:

[tex]\mathbf{P_s=4x}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{P_s=4 \times 2.39}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{P_s=9.56}[/tex]

Hence, 9.56 m of the wire should be used for the square

Y=

Answers

Answer:

y≈94.31

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We're given a right triangle (notice the 90 degree angle), the measure of one of the legs (one of the sides that make up the right angle) as 46, the other one as y, and one of the angles as 26°

We want to solve for y

We can use a trigonometric ratio to do that.

First, let's recall the three most-well known ratios:

Sine is [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

Cosine is [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

Tangent is [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]

Since we are given one of the angles, let's find out which sides are the opposite, adjacent, and hypotenuse, in reference to the given angle (the 26° angle)

In reference to that angle, the side opposite to that angle (also the side known as "opposite) is the side marked as 46, the adjacent side is y, and the hypotenuse is the unmarked side

Since we know the opposite and adjacent, let's use the ratio for tangent

Since we based our labels off of the 26 degree angle, the tangent ratio is the tangent OF 26, or tan(26)

tan(26)=[tex]\frac{46}{y}[/tex]

Now we need to solve the equation

Start by multiplying both sides by y

tan(26)*y=46

Divide both sides by tan(26)

y=[tex]\frac{46}{tan(26)}[/tex]

Plug [tex]\frac{46}{tan(26)}[/tex]  into your calculator, and remember to have the calculator on degree mode

[tex]\frac{46}{tan(26)}[/tex]≈94.31

Remember that [tex]\frac{46}{tan(26)}[/tex] is equal to y, which means that y is about 94.31

Write an equation of the line through the points (-3, 3) and (7, 5) in slope-intercept form. What is the y-intercept?

Answers

First get the slope, m.

m = change in y / change in x = (5 - 3)/(7 - (-3)) = 2 / 10 = 1/5
You can also do reverse the order of subtractions = (3 - 5)/(-3 - 7) = -2 / -10 = 1/5

Now substitute the value of m and either (x,y) point into the slope intercept equation:

y = mx + b

5 = (1/5) 7 + b
5 - 7/5 = b
(25 - 7)/5 = b
18/5 = b

Final answer:

y = 1/5 x + 18/5

IN A CLASS OF 60 STUDENTS, 25 PLAYS BASKETBALL, 2O PLAY VOLLEYBALL, AND 10 STUDENTS PLAY BOTH OF THEM. HOW MANY STUDENTS PLAY NEITHER BASKETBALL NOR VOLLEYBALL ?

5 people dont play either of them

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we can add the number of basketball players and the number of volleyball players:

25 + 20 = 45

But we know that there are ten players who are counted twice because they play both. So we subtract 10:

45 - 10 = 35

And that is the total number of students who play either basketball or volleyball. Now to figure out those that play neither sport we subtract the number of students by the number of players:

60 - 35 = 25

That’s the number of students who don’t play one of those sports.
