Hi, do you have to picture?

Answer:
- 12 ft parallel to the river
- 6 ft perpendicular to the river
Step-by-step explanation:
The least fence is used when half the total fence is parallel to the river. That is, the shape of the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide.
72 = W(2W)
36 = W²
6 = W . . . . . . the width perpendicular to the river
12 = 2W . . . . the length parallel to the river

<em>Development of this relation</em>
Let T represent the total length of the fence for some area A. Then if x is the length along the river, the width is y=(T-x)/2, and the area is ...
A = xy = x(T -x)/2
Note that the equation for area is that of a parabola with zeros at x=0 and at x=T. That is, for some fence length T, the area will be a maximum at the vertex of this parabola. That vertex is located halfway between the zeros, at ...
x = (0 +T)/2 = T/2
The corresponding area width (y) is ...
y = (T -T/2)/2 = T/4
Equivalently, the fence length T will be a minimum for some area A when x=T/2 and y=T/4. This is the result we used above.
Properties of equality have nothing to do with it. The associative and commutative properties of multiplication are used (along with the distributive property and the fact of arithmetic: 9 = 10 - 1).
All of these problems make use of the strategy, "look at what you have before you start work."
1. = (4·5)·(-3) = 20·(-3) = -60 . . . . if you know factors of 60, you can do this any way you like. It is convenient to ignore the sign until the final result.
2. = (2.25·4)·23 = 9·23 = 23·10 -23 = 230 -23 = 207 . . . . multiplication by 4 can clear the fraction in 2 1/4, so we choose to do that first. Multiplication by 9 can be done with a subtraction that is often easier than using ×9 facts.
4. = (2·5)·12·(-1) = 10·12·(-1) = (-1)·120 = -120 . . . . multiplying by 10 is about the easiest, so it is convenient to identify the factors of 10 and use them first. Again, it is convenient to ignore the sign until the end.
5. = 0 . . . . when a factor is zero, the product is zero
Answer:
600 Grams = 1.323 Pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
1 gram equals 0.0022 pounds
600 x 0.0022 = about 1.323
