Let the lengths of the sides of the rectangle be x and y. Then A(Area) = xy and 2(x+y)=300. You can use substitution to make one equation that gives A in terms of either x or y instead of both.
2(x+y) = 300
x+y = 150
y = 150-x
A=x(150-x) <--(substitution)
The resulting equation is a quadratic equation that is concave down, so it has an absolute maximum. The x value of this maximum is going to be halfway between the zeroes of the function. The zeroes of the function can be found by setting A equal to 0:
0=x(150-x)
x=0, 150
So halfway between the zeroes is 75. Plug this into the quadratic equation to find the maximum area.
A=75(150-75)
A=75*75
A=5625
So the maximum area that can be enclosed is 5625 square feet.
Answer:
x = c - a / -b
Step-by-step explanation:
a - bx = c
-a -a
-bx = c - a
divide -b
x = c - a / -b
If I understand correctly, you went wrong because you solved for Y instead of M, like the question dictates.
Answer:
25.1cm
Step-by-step explanation:
since circumference =
d and d=2r
c=(2*4)
c=8
c=25.132741229
c=25.1cm
324
Because you multiply 9 by 36
