The shortest side is 130 feet, the longest side is 260 feet and the greatest possible area is 33800 square feet

<h3>What dimensions would guarantee that the garden has the greatest possible area?</h3>

The given parameter is

Perimeter, P = 520 feet

Represent the shorter side with x and the longer side with y

One side of the garden is bordered by a river:

So the perimeter is:

P = 2x + y

Substitute P = 520

2x + y = 520

Make y the subject

y = 520 - 2x

The area is

A = xy

Substitute y = 520 - 2x in A = xy

A = x(520 - 2x)

Expand

A = 520x - 2x^2

Differentiate

A' = 520 - 4x

Set to 0

520 - 4x = 0

Rewrite as:

4x= 520

Divide by 4

x= 130

Substitute x= 130 in y = 520 - 2x

y = 520 - 2 *130

Evaluate

y = 260

The area is then calculated as:

A = xy

This gives

A = 130 * 260

Evaluate

A = 33800

Hence, the shortest side is 130 feet, the longest side is 260 feet and the greatest possible area is 33800 square feet

The numbers $1,$ $2,$ $\dots,$ $10$ are to be entered into the 10 boxes shown below, so that each number is used exactly once: \
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Maximum =  756

Minimum =  600

Step-by-step explanation:

A square is a shape that has the large areas of a defined perimeter out of available rectangles. It implies they want the two parentheses to be as similar in value. as a result, to establish the maximum value of P.

And to establish the minimum value, to have the greatest difference for them. 1 + 2 + 3 ... +10=55, which wasn't even but which can be split as similarly as possible into 27 and 28 which have a product of 756. In this question it can be done in a variety of ways, one of which is:

(1 + 3 + 5 + 8 + 10) ×  (2 + 4 + 6 + 7 + 9) = 756

At the very least, the biggest difference can be created if one term is made of the smallest numbers, while the other full of the highest, or:

(1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5) × (6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10)=600

Radda [10]

Answer:

It takes 32 Minutes for 12 people to paint 12 walls

Step-by-step explanation:

If it takes 8 people 32 minutes to paint 8 walls, then that means each person takes 32 minutes to paint 1 wall. With that being said, If you have 12 people painting 12 walls, It will take 32 minutes for all 12 walls to be painted.

Hope this helps!
