What are the dimensions of a square lawn that is bordered by a 4m wide path on three sides and has a path area that is 78% that of the lawn area?

To find the dimensions of the square lawn, let’s denote the length of one side of the lawn as x meters. The area of the square lawn (A_lawn) can then be calculated as: A_lawn = x² Since this lawn is bordered by a 4m wide path on three sides, we need to consider the overall … Read more

How can we estimate the maximum error in the radius of a sphere if its circumference is measured to be 84 cm with a possible error of 0.5 cm using differentials?

To estimate the maximum error in the radius of a sphere when given its circumference using differentials, we can follow these steps: The formula for the circumference (C) of a sphere is given by: C = 2πr where r is the radius. To find the differential of the circumference, we differentiate both sides with respect … Read more
