The maximum possible area would have a length of 24 feet and width of 12 feet.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

An independent variable is a variable that does not depend on other variables while a dependent variable is a variable that depends on other variables.

Let x represent the length and y represent the width, hence:

Since beth has 48 ft fencing and cover 3 sides, hence:

x + 2y = 48  

x = 48 - 2y     (1)

Also:

Area (A) = xy

A = (48 - 2y)y

A = 48y - 2y²

The maximum area is at A' = 0, hence:

A' = 48 - 4y

48 - 4y = 0

y = 12 feet

x = 48 - 2(12) = 24

The maximum possible area would have a length of 24 feet and width of 12 feet.

Answer:

(q)

cb \:  =  \sqrt{4 {}^{2}  +  {3}^{2} }

cb = 5

q =  \sqrt{ {13}^{2}  -  {5}^{2} }

q = 12

(r)

cb = \sqrt{ {13}^{2} -  {5}^{2}  }

cb = 12

r =  \sqrt{12 {}^{2} - 5 {}^{2}  }

r =  \sqrt{119}

r = 10.91

(s)

ab =  \sqrt{20 {}^{2}  - 16 {}^{2} }

ab = 12

s =  \sqrt{12 {}^{2} + 8 {}^{2}  }

s = 4 \sqrt{13}

s = 14.42

En una clase, 1/3 de los estudiantes eligieron estudiar español como segundo lenguaje vivo. 1/9 eligió italiano, el resto eligió
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

5/9

12

Step-by-step explanation:

La clase entera es 1.

1/3 estudian español.

1/9 estudian italiano.

1 - 1/3 - 1/9 estudian alemán.

1 - 1/3 - 1/9 = 9/9 - 3/9 - 1/9 = 5/9

<em>5/9 de los estudiantes estudian alemán.</em>

n = numero total de estudiantes en la clase.

5/9 n = 15

9/5 * 5/9 * n = 15 * 9/5

n = 27

Hay 27 estudiantes en la clase.

27 - 15 = 12

<em>12 estudiantes no estudian alemán.</em>
