The correct answer is 15:25
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
a)Given that the length of fencing available is 400 yards. This means that the perimeter of the rectangle is 400 yards.
the perimeter of a rectangle is given as:
Perimeter = 2(length + width) = 2(l + w)
Hence;
400 = 2(l + w)
200 = l + w
l = 200 - w
The area of a rectangle is given as:
Area = length × width
Area = (200 - w) × w
Area = 200w - w²
b) For a quadratic equation y = ax² + bx + c. it has a maximum at x = -b/2a
Hence, for the area = 200w - w² a=-1, b = 200, the maximum width is at:
w = -b/2a = -200/2(-1) = -200/-2 = 100
A width of 100 yard has the largest area
c) l = 200 - w = 200 - 100 = 100 yards
Area = l × w = 100 × 100 = 10000 yd²
The maximum area is 10000 yd²
Use pythagoras teorem
10^2 = 3^2 + x^2
x^2 = 100 - 9 = 91
x = 9.54 feet to nearest hundredth
$0.68. When you round a number when it comes to decimals, you need to round to the nearest 100ths place.
