Answer:

  68 feet square

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangle with the maximum area for a given perimeter is a square. The perimeter of a square is 4 times the side length, so the side length of the square area will be ...

  (272 ft)/4 = 68 ft

_____

<em>More formally ...</em>

You can let x represent the length of one side. Then the length of the other side for the given perimeter will be 136 -x, and the area will be the product ...

  area = x(136 -x)

The area function is a quadratic with zeros at x=0 and x=136. The vertex (maximum area) will be at the value of x that is on the line of symmetry between these points, at their midpoint: x = (0 +136)/2 = 68. This value of x makes the rectangle a square.

Solve this application problem using a system of equations: The Bright College footballteam scored 80 times last season, some on
Goryan [66]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\sf \ \ 69 \ \textbf{touchdowns } 11 \ \textbf{field goals } \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Touchdown is 7 points, field goals is 3 points

Let's note a the number of touchdowns and b the number of field goals, we can write

   (1)    a + b = 80

   (2)    7a + 3b = 516

(2) - 3*(1) gives

7a + 3b - 3(a + b) = 516 - 3*80

<=> 7a + 3b -3a - 3b = 516 - 240 = 276

<=> 4a = 276

<=> a=\dfrac{276}{4}=69

And then from (1) b = 80 - 69 = 11

Hope this helps

Which of the following theorems verifies that ABC~WXY?
Bumek [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option <em>B. AA</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two triangle:

\triangle ABC  and \triangle WXY.

The dimensions given in \triangle ABC are:

\angle A = 27^\circ\\\angle B = 90^\circ

We know that the sum of three angles in a triangle is equal to 180^\circ.

\angle A+\angle B+\angle C = 180^\circ\\\Rightarrow 27+90+\angle C=180^\circ\\\Rightarrow \angle C = 63^\circ

The dimensions given in \triangle WXY are:

\angle Y = 63^\circ\\\angle X = 90^\circ

We know that the sum of three angles in a triangle is equal to 180^\circ.

\angle W+\angle X+\angle Y = 180^\circ\\\Rightarrow \angle W+90+63=180^\circ\\\Rightarrow \angle W = 27^\circ

Now, if we compare the angles of the two triangles:

\angle A = \angle W = 27^\circ\\\angle B = \angle X= 90^\circ\\\angle C = \angle Y= 63^\circ

So, by AA postulate (i.e. Angle - Angle) postulate, the two triangles are similar.

\triangle ABC \sim \triangle WXY by <em>AA theorem.</em>

<em>So, correct answer is option B. AA </em>
