Warren wants to build a rectangular enclosure for his animals. one side of the pen will be against the barn, so he needs no fenc

e on that side. the other three sides will be enclosed with wire fencing. if warren has 500 feet of fencing, you can find the dimensions that maximize the area of the enclosure.
a.let w be the width of the enclosure (perpendicular to the barn) and let l be the length of the enclosure (parallel to the barn). write an function for the area a of the enclosure in terms of w . (hint first write two equations with w and l and
a. solve for l in one equation and substitute for l in the other). a ( w ) = 1/2w
b.what width w would maximize the area? w = ft
c.what is the maximum area? a = square feet

L +2w = 500
a = lw

a) l = 500 -2w
.. a = (500 -2w)*w


b) The zeros of the above equation are w=0, w=250. The vertex of this quadratic is on the line of symmetry, halftway between the zeros, at w=125 ft.


c) a = (500 -2*125)*125 = 31,250 . . . . square feet

The length of a rectangle is 7/6 its width, w. Which expression represents the perimeter of the rectangle?
Hitman42 [59]
If the length is 7/6 the width w then the perimeter is w + (7/6)w + w + (7/6w)
= 2((7/6)w + w) = 2w + (14/6)w = (26/6)w = (13/3)w.
So the answer is the last one.

Orlando is measuring the angles of a triangle. He measures the first two angles and gets 30° and 70°. What should be the measure
Andrei [34K]
The answer will be B because all three angles of the triangles add up to180 degrees, and we already know the total of two other angles are 100 degrees, which made the unknown angles have 80 degrees. Hope it help!
