Area > 50
A. \(C = 2πr = 22\)
\(r = \frac{11}{π}\)
\(A = π(\frac{11}{π})(\frac{11}{π}) = \frac{121}{π} = 38.51\)
B. \(b= 20\), \(H < 10\)
Area = \((20)(9)\) or it can be \((20)(2)\)
{Drop a perpendicular from one of the vertex of line segment 20 on the other side 20, This perpendicular will always be less than the hypotenuse wiz 10}
C. \(4s = 52\)
\(s = 13\)
Area = \(\frac{1}{2}(D_1)(D_2)\)
{We can't say anything about the diagonals}
D. \(2(l + b) = 50\)
\(l + b = 25\)
Area = (l)(b)
{we can have so many combinations where area might be < 50 or > 50}
E. \(4s = 32\)
\(s = 8\)
Area \(= s^2 = 64\)
F. \(17^2 = B^2 + P^2\)
Area = \(\frac{1}{2}(b)(h)\)
{We can't say anything about the base and height}
Therefore, we have only E
