A farmer wants to fence an area of 13.5 million square feet in a rectangular field and then divide it in half with a fence paral

lel to one of the sides of the rectangle. Let y represent the length (in feet) of a side perpendicular to the dividing fence, and let x represent the length (in feet) of a side parallel to the dividing fence. Let F represent the length of fencing in feet. Write an equation that represents F in terms of the variable x.

Answer:

  F = 3x +(2.7×10^7)/x

Step-by-step explanation:

The formulas for area and perimeter of a rectangle can be used to find the desired function.

<h3>Area</h3>

The area of the rectangle will be the product of its dimensions:

  A = LW

Using the given values, we have ...

  13.5×10^6 = xy

Solving for y gives ...

  y = (13.5×10^6)/x

<h3>Perimeter</h3>

The perimeter of the rectangle is the sum of the side lengths:

  P = 2(L+W) = 2(x+y)

<h3>Fence length</h3>

The total amount of fence required is the perimeter plus one more section that is x feet long.

  F = 2(x +y) +x = 3x +2y

Substituting for y, we have a function of x:

  F = 3x +(2.7×10^7)/x

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The length of fence required is minimized for x=3000. The overall size of that fenced area is x=3000 ft by y=4500 ft. Each half is 3000 ft by 2250 ft. Half of the total 18000 ft of fence is used for each of the perpendicular directions: 3x=2y=9000 ft.

Stells [14]
Your answer is A.

You already have a set of answers to choose from...all you really need to do is substitute those into the equation to get the answer. BUT you should definitely learn how to do this yourself, hun. Using Gauss-Jordan elimination.
