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

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 4^3 = 4 x 4 x 4 = 16 x 4 = 64

2. 64 - 4 = 60

will the opposite of a number always,sometimes,or never be greater than the number itself??????? can someone do an example and a
weeeeeb [17]

When the number is positive, its opposite is less than the number.

9 ==> -9 . . . . . . less
72 ==> -72 . . . . less
324 ==> -324 . . less


When the number is negative, its opposite is greater than the number.

-8 ==> 8 . . . . . . greater
-3/4 ==> 3/4 . . . greater
-429 ==> 429 . . greater .

We've seen that the opposite can be less, and it can also be greater.
I guess that means that it's sometimes greater.

raketka [301]

We are given that:

The skateboard park is located at the point (-3,5),

the ice cream shop is located at the point (-3,6),

and the comic book store is located at (4,6).

We are also given that the four coordinates forms a rectangle.

Here we already have two matching x- coordinates as -3 and y coordinates as 6.

Now we must have two matching x and y coordinates too.

As shown in figure , if we have the last coordinate as (4,5), it will complete the rectangle.

So answer is option B) (4,5) is the last coordinate at which his best friend lives.
