Suppose the other side of the rectangle is y,

then perimeter = 2(length + breadth)

so 20 = 2*(x+y)

so that x+y = 10 or y = 10-x

Then, A = x*y = x*(10-x) or 10x - x2

Note that x>0, y>0 require that 0<x<10. The function is not defined outside these limits for x.

A right triangle has one leg four times as long as the other Find a function that models its perimeter P in terms of the length x of the shorter leg?

Legs are 'x' and '4x'.Hypotenuse is sqrt(17x2) = x sqrt(17)Perimeter = x [ 5 + sqrt(17) ]


A right triangle has one leg two times as long as the other Find a function that models its perimeter P in terms of the length x of the shorter leg?

P = x3 + sqroot(x*x + x2*x2) x3 is the combined length of the two sides. Using pythagorean theory we find the hypotenuse, and add it to the other two sides to find the perimeter.


A right triangle has one leg three times as long as the other Find a function that models its perimeter P in terms of the length x of the shorter leg?

The perimeter is the sum of all of the sides of the triangle. If the shorter leg is x, the longer leg is 3x. The hypotenuse is then the square root of x^2 + 3x^2, or 2x. Then the perimeter is x + 3x + 2x, simplified, f(x) = 6x.

How do you draw all possible distinct area models to represent factors of 120?

The task, as described, is extremely difficult since there may be area models for more than two factors at a time. However, taking only rectangular areas and so only 2 factors at a time: Find the smallest factor of 120 = B1. Let L1 = 120/B1. Draw a rectangle with length = L1 units and breadth = B1 units. Find the next larger factor of 120, B2. Let L2 = 120/B2. If L2 &acirc;&permil;&curren; B2 then stop. Otherwise draw a rectangle with length = L2 units and breadth = B2 units. Do the next smallest factor, and so on.

On dsi how close do you have to be with another dsi to pictochat?

I believe it is 30ft, as this is the length for the previous models. However, with the internet capability, its possible that that length is doubled or tripled. You could test it.
