Supposing that the actual pool is (a)m long and (b)m wide, then the total property will be (a+6)m long and (b+4)m wide.

The next step is to find a relationship between a and b.

ab = 150

Therefore a = 150/b

Therefore, total property area will be:

(150/b + 6)(b+4)

= 150 + 600/b + 6b + 24

= 6b + 600/b + 174

= 6b + 600b-1 + 174

Taking the derivative and setting it to zero:

0 = (6b + 600b-1 + 174)'

= 6 + -1*600*b-2

= 6 - 600/b2

Therefore:

6 = 600/b2

1 = 100/b2

b2 = 100

b = 10

a = 150/10

= 15

To check whether we have the minimum for area, take the second derivative:

(6 - 600/b2)' = (6 - 600b-2)'

= 0 - -2*600b-3

= 1200b-3

= 1200/b3

If b is positive, the second derivative will also be positive, so we do have a minimum.

Therefore total area of the property:

(a+6)m * (b+4)m = (15+6)m * (10+4)m

= 21m * 14m

= 294m2

What is the volume of a tub 1meter x 1meter x 2meter wide?

If you multiply the three numbers, you get the volume - assuming the tub has a "block" (rectangular) shape.


When the 2meter tall crest of a wave coincides with the 2meter deep trough of another wave what results?

The result is destructive interference. The resultant displacement of the waves would be zero, but only for the moment of interference. Once the interference is past, the waves continue normally.

If a carpet costs 12.00 a square yard how much would it cost for a room 2meter x 2meter?

2m x 2m = 4 square meters = 4.784 square yards.At $12 per square yard, that's $57.41 plus pad, installation, and tax.But it's doubtful that they would cut off 0.784 of a square yard for you.You'd probably have to buy 5 square yards, and then discard the leftover0.216 square yard after you finish cutting everything to fit the room. Eitherthat, or use it for a bed-pad for your small dog.

How many centimeter in 2meter?

Prefix 'centi' is used to denote sub multiples of meter and uses factor 0.01. Therefore to convert meters to centimeters, value in meters has to be divided by factor used with prefix 'centi':2 meters = [meters] / 0.01 = 2 / 0.01 = 200 centimeters

What is the work done in raising from the ground a brick wall of uniform thickness of height 2meter and 1000kg?

The work done in raising any object from the ground is independent of the nature of the object (its composition and girth). Hence the data provided ("brick wall of uniform thickness of height 2meter [sic]") is irrelevant. The work that is done in "raising from the ground" any object massing 1000kg is the same as the work done raising any other object massing 1000kg the same distance, for example, five pecks of osmium fashioned into the death mask of Albert Einstein.It should be noted that the expression "to raise a wall" is sometimes used to mean the same thing as "to erect a wall", which clearly not at all the same thing as "to lift a wall". The point of idiotic exercises such as this is the entertainment of idiots and so the fact that terms are employed which are vague and consequently readily misinterpreted is to be expected. When human lives are at stake, for example in the design of bridges, such vagueness can have consequences which most people do not find amusing, for example, the death of the man and woman who conceived one.The answer is 9806.65 Newton-meters per meter raised (a datum not provided). This neglects the lift, which cannot be calculated without knowing the thickness and length of the wall. likewise data not provided. The wall displaces a volume of air (which weighs about one gram per liter), and the work done is less as a result. The effective mass is the mass of the wall, less the mass of the air it displaces. Since the air mass displaced is a function of altitude the solution to the problem requires calculus. Similarly, the gravitational force exerted per kilogram of mass declines as the wall is lifted and a careful calculation of the work performed must take that into account as well. Since both of these quantities vary *within the range specified as 2meters from top to bottom* the problem is quite intricate when fully fleshed unless one makes simplifying assumptions (the force of gravity is the same throughout the wall, etc.) to obtain an approximation rather than the most precise answer possible.


is 2 meters greater than 275 cm?

No because a meter is equal to 100 centimeters so 2 meters is equal to 200 cm. So 2 meters is less than 275 centimeters.
