First let's find out what would the sides of a square be.

7500 / 4 = 1875

Now we have 1875 as the sides and double at the top.

So 1875 * 3750 = 7031250 meters squared

<u>Answer:</u>

7,031,250 m^2

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We know that:

<em>Area of a rectangle = length x width</em>

Also, since the rectangular plot shares a border with a river so Farmer Ed only needs to fence rest of the three sides therefore, we can write it as:

F = x + 2y

7500 = x + 2y

Solving this equation for x, we get:

x = 7500 - 2y --- (i)

Now substitute this value of x in the Area of rectangle:

Area = (7500 - 2y) * y

Area = -2y^2 + 7500y --- (ii)

The coefficient of -2 means that the largest area will be at:

-7500 / [2 (-2) ] = 1875 so y = 1875

So substituting this value of y in the equation (i) we get:

x = 7500 - 2(1875)

x = 7,031,250 m^2

If you read can read 40 pages in 2 hours, how many pages can you read in 5 hours?
Pavlova-9 [17]
You can read 100 pages in 5 hours.

40 pages in 2 hours. We need to get the unit rate. In this case, we need to get the number of pages read in 1 hour.

40 pages ÷ 2 hours = 20 pages per hour.

20 pages per hours * 5 hours = 100 pages.

A=2(3.14)(5)(8)+2(3.14)(5)^2

A=6.28*40+6.28*25
A=251.2+157
