The answer would be letter A.
Answer:
J
Step-by-step explanation:
If the side of the shape is increased by 3/2 then the total distance around the shape will be 3/2 bigger.
Example: If the pentagon has side length 2 then it becomes 2*3/2 = 6/2 = 3.
The original perimeter was 2+2+2+2+2 = 10.
The new perimeter is 3+3+3+3+3 = 15.

<em>Answer: h = 120 ft; w = 80 ft </em>
<em></em>
<em>A = 9600 ft^2</em>
<em />
<em>Step-by-step explanation: Let h and w be the dimensions of the playground. The area is given by:</em>
<em></em>
<em>A = h*w (eq1)</em>
<em></em>
<em>The total amount of fence used is:</em>
<em></em>
<em>L = 2*h + 2*w + w (eq2) (an extra distance w beacuse of the division)</em>
<em></em>
<em>Solving for w:</em>
<em></em>
<em>w = L - 2/3*h = 480 - 2/3*h (eq3) Replacing this into the area eq:</em>
<em></em>
<em></em>
<em></em>
<em>We derive this and equal zero to find its maximum:</em>
<em></em>
<em> Solving for h:</em>
<em></em>
<em>h = 120 ft. Replacing this into eq3:</em>
<em></em>
<em>w = 80ft</em>
<em></em>
<em>Therefore the maximum area is:</em>
<em></em>
<em>A = 9600 ft^2</em>
