y is part of a right angle on line AB
a right angle = 90 degrees
90-47 = 43 degrees
y = 43 degrees
a straight line = 180 degrees
180-47 = 133 degrees
x = 133 degrees
Let width = w
Let length = l
Let area = A
3w+2l=1200
2l=1200-3w
l=1200-3/2
A=w*l
A=w*(1200-3w)/2
A=600w-(3/2)*w^2
If I set A=0 to find the roots, the maximum will be at wmax=-b/2a which is exactly 1/2 way between the roots-(3/2)*w^2+600w=0
-b=-600
2a=-3
-b/2a=-600/-3
-600/-3=200
w=200
And, since 3w+2l=1200
3*200+2l=1200
2l = 600
l = 300
The dimensions of the largest enclosure willbe when width = 200 ft and length = 300 ft
check answer:
3w+2l=1200
3*200+2*300=1200
600+600=1200
1200=1200
and A=w*l
A=200*300
A=60000 ft2
To see if this is max area change w and l slightly but still make 3w+2l=1200 true, like
w=200.1
l=299.85
A=299.85*200.1
A=59999.985
◆ Define the variables:
Let the calorie content of Candy A = a
and the calorie content of Candy B = b
◆ Form the equations:
One bar of candy A and two bars of candy B have 774 calories. Thus:
a + 2b = 774
Two bars of candy A and one bar of candy B contains 786 calories
2a + b = 786
◆ Solve the equations:
From first equation,
a + 2b = 774
=> a = 774 - 2b
Put a in second equation
2×(774-2b) + b = 786
=> 2×774 - 2×2b + b = 786
=> 1548 - 4b + b = 786
=> -3b = 786 - 1548
=> -3b = -762
=> b = -762/(-3) = 254 calorie
◆ Find caloric content:
Caloric content of candy B = 254 calorie
Caloric content of candy A = a = 774 - 2b = 774 - 2×254 = 774 - 508 = 266 calorie
