Given the following equation where A = Area of a rectangle and w = width of the rectangle, what value of 'w' would maximize the area? A = LW
P = 2L+2W
P = 100
w should be 625 units
w should be 25 units
w should be 0 units
w should be 50 units

the second option : w should be 25 units

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of the rectangle is length×width = L×W

the perimeter of a rectangle = 2L + 2W

now, we know that the perimeter is 100 units.

and we have to find the best length of W, that will then define L (to keep the 100 units of perimeter) and maximizes the area of the rectangle.

in other words, what is the maximum area of a rectangle with perimeter of 100 (and what are the corresponding side lengths)?

now, w = 625 is impossible. that side alone would be bigger than the whole perimeter.

W = 0 would render the whole rectangle to a flat line with L = 50 because of

100 = 2L + 2W = 2L + 0 = 2L

L = 50

and A = L×W = 50×0 = 0

an area of 0 is for sure not the largest possible area.

w = 50 would cause L = 0

100 = 2L + 2W = 2L + 2×50 = 2L + 100

0 = 2L

L = 0

and with L = 0 the same thing happens as with W = 0 : a flat line with 0 area.

so, the only remaining useful answer is W = 25

100 = 2L + 2W = 2L + 2×25 = 2L + 50

50 = 2L

L = 25

A = L×W = 25×25 = 625 units²

and indeed, the maximum area for a given perimeter is achieved by arranging the sides to create a square.

option 2 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given two inequality equation

x+y> 5 and -3x+2y< -2

first we draw the graph of both function using t-table method

equation: x+y> 5

for x=0, y=5

for x=-5, y=0

table:

x   :   0     5

y   :   5     0

test point (0,0) , 0> 5

false

equation: -3x+2y< -2

for x=0, y=-1

for x=2, y=4

table:

x   :   0     2

y   : -1       4

test point (0,0) , 0< -2

true

now we draw the graph. see the attachment for graph.

common region would be solution set.

option 2 is correct.

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
