Why is it that when comparing a squares area with a rectangles area, with the SAME PERIMETER, that the square has a greater area?

Answers

Answer 1

s = side length of square

4s = perimeter of square

L = length of rectangle

W = width of rectangle

P = 2L+2W = perimeter of rectangle

4s = 2L+2W .... since we want the perimeters the same

4s = 2(L+W)

s = 0.5(L+W)

s^2 = (0.5(L+W))^2 ... square both sides

s^2 = 0.25(L+W)^2

The last equation shows the area of the square, s^2, in terms of L and W. This way we can connect the square to the rectangle.

-----------------------------------

The area of the rectangle is LW

Let's subtract this from the area of the square and see what we get

A = area of square = s^2

B = area of rectangle = LW

C = difference in area

C = A - B

C = s^2 - LW

C = 0.25(L+W)^2 - LW

C = 0.25(L^2+2LW+W^2) - LW

C = 0.25L^2+0.5LW+0.25W^2-LW

C = 0.25L^2-0.5LW+0.25W^2

C = 0.25(L^2-2LW+W^2)

C = 0.25(L-W)^2

Regardless of what we pick for L and W, the expression (L-W)^2 is always positive. Squaring a negative number leads to a positive result.

So C is always positive as long as [tex]L \ne W[/tex]

If C > 0, and C = A - B, then

C > 0

A-B > 0 .... replace C with A-B

A > B .... add B to both sides

This shows the square area is always larger than the rectangle.

Again this only works if L and W are different values. If L = W, then the argument falls apart because the rectangle becomes the square.

We make [tex]L \ne W[/tex] to have a nonsquare rectangle.

if x=21 then y=49. What is the value of x when y=56?

Answers

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

set them up as a fraction.

21/49=x/56

cross multiply: 21*56=49x

1176=49x

divide both sides by 49

x=24

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

notice that when x=21 thats 3x7=21  

then when y=49  thats 7x7  

so when y=56  that's 8x7

notice there is a patter of 7 being used?   there are probably a lot of other patterns that would also work.. but.  if your class is working on multiplying by 7 , then this is probably the right pattern.  

from the above pattern, then,

x=4x7 when y=56

x=28

Step-by-step explanation:

The factoring of the difference of cubes has a standard form:

  a³ -b³ = (a -b)(a² +ab +b²)

Here, your knowledge of the cubes of small integers tells you that ...

  64 = 4³

  125 = 5³

So, in the above, we have ...

  a = 4x, b = 5

and the factored form is ...

The equation of the line is y=-16x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not totally sure if that is what you meant by the equation of the line but that is my answer. I can change it if you are more specific.

Anyways, you need to find the slope because you already know the y-intercept, 7.

Slope=rise/run between two pretty points( A point that lines up on the grid)

So you must go from the bottom point and count how ever many are separating the two points. It turned out to be 16 and since the line is going down it is a negative. You then plug the numbers into the slope intercept form and that is your answer.

An ornament shaped like a sphere has a radius of 2.3 inches which measurement is closest to the volume of the ornament in cubic inches

Answers

Answer:

50.97in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a sphere

The expression for the volume of a sphere is given as

V=4/3πr^3

Given that the radius is 2.3in

Substitute r= 2.3 in the expression to find the volume of the sphere

V=4/3*3.142*(2.3)^3

V=4/3*3.142*(12.167)

V=4/3*38.23

V=152.9/3

V=50.97in^3

Therefore the volume of the ornament is 50.97in^3

Angle A Z X is marked with a right angle.

Answers

Answer:

3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinates

X(4, -3)

Y(2, 1.5)

A(3, 3)

Z(4,-1)

We are to find the distance from point A to XZ

First let us get the coordinate XZ

According to vector notation XZ = Z-X

XZ = (4,-1)-(4,-3)

XZ = [(4-4),-1-(-3)]

XZ = (0, 2)

Next is to find the distance from A(3, 3) to XZ(0,2) using the formula for calculating the distance between two points.

D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

x1 = 3, y1 = 3, x2 = 0, y2 = 2

D = √(0-3)²+(2-3)²

D = √9+1

D = √10

D = 3.16

Hence the distance from point A to XZ to nearest tenth is 3.2

If the sum of first 7 terms of an A.P is 49 and the sum of first 17 terms is 289 find the sum of first 30 term

Answers

Given:

Sum of first 7 terms of an AP = 49.

Sum of first 17 terms = 289

Find:

the sum of first 30 term

Solution:

We know that,

Sum of first n terms of an AP – S(n) = n/2 * [ 2a + (n - 1)d ]

Hence,

→ 7/2 * [ 2a + (7 - 1)d ] = 49

→ 2a + 6d = 49 * 2/7

→ 2( a + 3d ) = 14

→ a + 3d = 14/2

→ a + 3d = 7 -- equation (1)

Similarly,

→ 17/2 * [ 2a + 16d ] = 289

→ 17/2 * 2 * (a + 8d) = 289

→ a + 8d = 289 * 2/17 * 1/2

→ a + 8d = 17 -- equation (2)

Subtract equation (1) from (2).

→ a + 8d - (a + 3d) = 17 - 7

→ a + 8d - a - 3d = 10

→ 5d = 10

→ d = 10/5

→ d = 2

Substitute the value of d in equation (1).

→ a + 3 * 2 = 7

→ a = 7 - 6

→ a = 1

Now,

Sum of first 30 terms = 30/2 * [ 2(1) + (30 - 1)(2) ]

→ S(30) = 15 (2 + 58)

→ S(30) = 15 * 60

→ S(30) = 900

Therefore, the sum of first 30 terms of the given AP is 900.

I hope it will help you.
