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.

Help ASAP can u explain a little too? (pls help if u don’t know it don’t answer pls) Thank You:)

Since they are similar, the dimensions are in the same ratio. L1 = 5, L2 = 15, so they are in a 3:1 ratio. So if V1 = 60, then W1×H1 = 60/5 = 12
W2 must also be 3×W1 and H2 3×H1, and
3×3 = 9. So take 12×9 (W×H1×9) ×15 (L2) = V2
V2 = 12×9×15 = 1620 cm^3

Let me know the right answer when you find out!
