AI Thread Summary
To find the dimensions of a rectangular field with a perimeter of 60 meters and an area of 200 square meters, the equations for perimeter (p = 2a + 2b) and area (A = ab) are used. By substituting the perimeter equation into the area equation, one can express one variable in terms of the other. Solving these equations simultaneously will yield the lengths of the sides a and b. Drawing a diagram can aid in visualizing the problem. The solution will provide the specific dimensions of the field.

Please help me I beg you!
 
Show how you have tried to approach the problem.
 
I need somebody to show me how to do it.
 
Try not to be lazy.

The perimeter of a rectangle is p=2a+2b=60 meters, where a and b are contiguous sides' lengths. Do you see this? (Drawing a figure would be helpful.)

The area A=200 meters2. In terms of a and b the area is thus equal to...
 

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
