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.

A Triangle has an area of 36cm^2. The base and height are scaled by a factor of 5. What is the area of the resulting triangle?
Finger [1]

Answer:

Area of resulting triangle  will be 900 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

When sides of  any polygon if scaled by a factor of k

then area is scaled by k^2

According to the above statement

therefore  here in the question since area of original triangle was 36cm^2

and both  base and height are scaled by a factor of 5.

therefore area of scaled triangle will be 5^2 times of the original

that is 25 x 36 which gives 900 cm^2

So area of resulting triangle will be 900 cm^2
