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

What are the solutions to the equation (x + 2)^2 = 49?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

X= 5, -9

Step-by-step explanation:

(X+2)² =49

Expand the bracket,


(X+2) (X+2)= 49

Apply the distributive property;

X(X+2) +2 (X+2) =49

X²+2X+2X+4=49

X²+4X+4=49

Move 49 to the left side of the equation;

X²+4X+4-49=0

X²+4X-45=0

Apply Factorisation method;

Consider the form

a²+bx+c=0  

Find two numbers whose sum is equal to b and whose product is equal to c.
Comparing with our equation;

B =4 and C =45

We can use 9 and -5, this is because ;

9+(-5)=4 and 9*(-5)= 45.

Replace X +4X-45=0 with (X-5) (X+9)=0

Therefore;

X-5=0

X+9=0

Moving to the left side of the equation;

Therefore X= 5 and -9

Answer:

4√5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem

a^2=21^2-19^2

a^2=441-19^2

a^2=441-361

a^2=80

a= √80

simplify
