By definition, two angles are supplementary if the sum of them is 180 degrees. In this case (see figure attached with the answer) the line AD is transversal to lines AB and DC. This is a proof of the Same-side interior angle theorem.
This theorem states that if we have two lines that are parallel and we intercept those two lines with a line that is transversal to both, same-side interior angles are formed, and also sum 180º, in other words, they are supplementary angles.
Then:
By the definition of a parallelogram, AB∥DC. AD is a transversal between these sides, so ∠A and ∠D are <em><u>same-side interior angles</u></em>. Because AB and DC are <em><u>parallel</u></em>, the same-side interior angles must be <em><u>supplementary</u></em> by the same-side interior angles theorem. Therefore, ∠A and ∠D are supplementary.
Answer: (A)
(B) Length varies between 1 and 150
(C) Largest area is 22500ft²
Step-by-step explanation: Suppose length is l and width is w.
The rectangular garden has perimeter of 600ft, which is mathematically represented as
Area of a rectangle is calculated as
Now, we have a system of equations:
Isolate w, so we have l:
w = 300 - l
Substitute in the area equation:
A = l(300 - l)
A = 300l - l²
(A) <u>Function of area in terms of length is given by </u><u>A = 300l - l²</u>
(B) The practical domain for this function is values between 1 and 150.
(C) For the largest area, we need to determine the largest garden possible. For that, we take first derivative of the function:
A' = 300 - 2l
Find the values of l when A'=0:
300 - 2l = 0
2l = 300
l = 150
Replace l in the equation:
w = 300 - 150
w = 150
Now, calculate the largest area:
A = 150*150
A = 22500
<u>The largest area the fence can enclose is </u><u>22500ft².</u>
