Answer:
Depth of the rain gutter is 8 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let’s assume ‘x’ is the depth of the rain gutter
Then the width of the rain gutter can be written as 16 - 2x
Cross sectional area
A = depth x width
Substitute values
A = x*(16 - 2x)
A = 16x – 2x^2
Now according to axis of symmetry for maximum area x = -b/2a
x = -16/2*(-2)
x = 4 inches depth of rain gutter, substitute the value of x to get
Width of rain gutter 16 – 2(4) = 8 inches
Area of the rain gutter for maximum water flow
A = 4 * 8
A = 32 square inch.
Answer: y = 6 mi. .
______________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________________
Area of a triangle = (½) * (base) * (height) ;
or, A = (½) * b * h ; or, A = b*h / 2 ;
_____________________________________
Given: A = 24.3 mi ² ;
b = 8.1 mi
___________________
Find the height, "h" ; (in units of "miles", or , "mi" ).
__________________________
Plug in the known values into the formula:
24.3 mi ² = (½) * (8.1 mi) *(h) ;
_____________________________
Solve for "h" (height) ;
_____________________________
(½) * (8.1 mi) = 4.05 mi ;
______________________________
Rewrite:
____________________________
24.3 mi² = (4.05 mi) *(h) ; Solve for "h" ;
_________________________________________
Divide each side of the equation by "(4.05 mi)" ; to isolate "h" on one side of the equation ; and to solve for "h" ;
__________________________________________
24.3 mi² / 4.05 mi = (4.05 mi) *(h) / 4.05 mi ;
→ 6 mi = h ; ↔ h = 6 mi.
→ h = y = 6 mi.
