- Framing a Painting Ali paints with watercolors on a sheet of paper 20 in. wide by 15 in. high. He then places this sheet on a mat so that a uniformly wide strip of the mat shows all around the picture. The perimeter of the mat is 102 in. How wide is the strip of the mat showing around the picture?arrow_forwardFencing a field A farmer wishes to enclose a rectangular garden with 300 yards of fencing. A river runs along one side of the garden, so no fencing is needed there. Find the dimensions of the rectangle if the area is 10,450 square yards.arrow_forwardEnclosing a field You have 16 miles of fence that you will use to enclose a rectangle field. a.Draw a picture to show that you can arrange the 16 miles fence into a rectangle of width 3 miles and length 5 miles. What is the area of this rectangle? b.Draw a picture to show that you can arrange the 16 miles fence into a rectangle of width 2 miles and length 6 miles. What is the area of this rectangle? c.The first two parts of this exercise are designed to show you that you can get different areas for the rectangle of the sane perimeter, 16 miles. In general, if you arrange the 16 miles of fence into a rectangle of width w miles, then it will enclose an area of A=w8-w square miles. iMake a graph of the area enclosed as a function of w, and explain what the graph is showing. iiWhat width w should you use to enclose the most area? iiiWhat is the length of the maximum-area rectangle that you made, and what kind of figure do you have?arrow_forward
- Width of a Lawn A factory is to be built on a lot measuring 180 ft by 240 ft. A local building code specifies that a lawn of uniform width and equal in area to the factory must surround the factory. What must the width of this lawn be, and what are the dimensions of the factory?arrow_forwardA Precocious Child and Her Blocks A child has 64 blocks that are 1-inch cubes. She wants to arrange the blocks into a solid rectangle h blocks long and w blocks wide. There is a relationship between h and w that is determined by the restriction that all 64 blocks must go into the rectangle. A rectangle h blocks long and w blocks wide uses a total of h X w blocks. Thus, hw = 64. Applying some elementary algebra, we get the relationship that we need: w=64h(2.3) Use a formula to express the perimeter P in terms of h and w. Using Equation 2.3, find a formula that expresses the perimeter P in terms of the height only. How should the child arrange the blocks if she wants the perimeter to be the smallest possible? Do parts b and c again, this time assuming that the child has 60 blocks rather than 64 blocks. In this situation, the relationship between h and w is w = 60/h. Note: Be careful when you do part c. The child will not cut the blocks into piecesarrow_forwardSailboat Races The speed that a sailboat is capable of sailing is determined by three factors: its total length L, the surface area A of its sails, and its displacement V (the volume of water it displaces). In general, a sailboat is capable of greater speed if it is longer, has a larger sail area, or displaces less water. To make sailing races fair, only boat in the same “class” can qualify to race together. For a certain race, a boat is considered to qualify if 0.30L+0.38A1/23V1/316 Where L is measured in feet, A in square feet, and V in cubic feet. Use this inequality to answer the following questions. (a) A sailboat has length 60ft , sail area 3400ft2 ,and displacement 650ft3 . Does this boat qualify for the race? (b) A sailboat has length 65ft and displace 600ft3 . What is the largest possible sail area that could be used and still allow the boat to qualify for this race?arrow_forward
