Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Seashells collected before breakfast = 39
Seashells collected after breakfast = 2 and 1/3 = 2,
and 1/3 as a decimal = 0.3333
Add 2 to 0.3333 to get =2.3333 times
Therefore ,Seashells collected after breakfast = 2.3333*39 = 90.9987 ,which is roughly 91
Next, add 91 to 39 to get total; 91+36 = 127
The total number of Seashells Sierra collected were 127
9514 1404 393
Answer:
1250 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is the length of the side perpendicular to the creek, then the third side is (100 -2x) = 2(50 -x). The area is the product of length and width:
A = x(2)(50-x)
We observe that this is a quadratic function with zeros at x=0 and x=50. The vertex (maximum) of a quadratic function is on the line of symmetry, halfway between the zeros. The value of x there is (0 +50)/2 = 25.
Then the maximum area is ...
A = (25)(2)(50 -25) = 1250 . . . . square feet

<em>Additional comment</em>
Note that half the length of the fence is used in one direction (parallel to the creek), and half is used in the other direction (perpendicular to the creek). This 50/50 split is the generic solution to all sorts of rectangular corral problems, with or without a creek, with or without internal partitions.
Half the fence is perpendicular to the other half. (If the costs are different in different directions, then the cost is what is split 50/50.)
The rectangle R’S’T’U’ is a 90° counterclockwise rotation of RSTU so options (A) and (C) will be correct.
<h3>What is a rectangle?</h3>The rectangle is a geometrical figure in which opposite sides are equal.
The angle between any two consecutive sides will be 90 degrees.
Area of rectangle = length × width.
Perimeter of rectangle = 2( length + width).
Given the rectangle RSTU if we plot it then it becomes a major horizontal rectangle.
If we transpose into R’S’T’U’ then it rotates 90 degrees counterclockwise and becomes a major vertical ractangle.
Hence the rectangle RSTU will rotate 90° counterclockwise to form R’S’T’U’.
