The maximum possible area would have a length of 24 feet and width of 12 feet.
<h3>What is an
equation?</h3>
An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.
An independent variable is a variable that does not depend on other variables while a dependent variable is a variable that depends on other variables.
Let x represent the length and y represent the width, hence:
Since beth has 48 ft fencing and cover 3 sides, hence:
x + 2y = 48
x = 48 - 2y (1)
Also:
Area (A) = xy
A = (48 - 2y)y
A = 48y - 2y²
The maximum area is at A' = 0, hence:
A' = 48 - 4y
48 - 4y = 0
y = 12 feet
x = 48 - 2(12) = 24
The maximum possible area would have a length of 24 feet and width of 12 feet.

12xy2 good luck though :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A quick way to divide by 0.5 or ½ is to double the number (or multiply number by 2). The reason for this is that two halves go into a whole.
Answer: total books = 180
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Poetry section of the library has 6 bookcases.
Number of shelves in each bookcase = 3
Total shelves = (Number of shelves in each bookcase) x (Number of bookcases in each poetry section)
= 3 x 6
= 18
Number of books in each shelf = 10
Total books = (number of shelves) x 10
= 18 x 10
= 180
hence, total books in the poetry section= 180
