Remark

Not many per square mile. Sounds like an ideal place to live.

Step One

Find the number of Square Miles.

Area = Height * Width

Area = 380 * 200

Area = 76,000 square miles.

Step Two

Find the Density

<u>Formula</u>

Density = Population / Square Miles

Population = 814,000 people

Square miles = 76000

Solve

Density = 814000/76000 = 10.7 people per square mile.

Remark

Isn't that incredible. It means if all the Area of South Dakota were given to the people living there, each family of 4 would get roughly 1/2 a square mile.

Car rentals involve a $130 flat fee and an additional cost of $31.67 a day what is the maximum number of days you can rent a car
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
The equation is $130 + $31.67x = 500
Subtract 130 from both sides $31.67x = $370
Divide $31.67 from both sides
X=11.68
BUT
you can’t have .68 of a day so the answer is 11 days.

Answer:

For two rectangles to be similar, their sides have to be proportional (form equal ratios). The ratio of the two longer sides should equal the ratio of the two shorter sides.

A rancher has 800 feet of fencing to put around a rectangular field and then subdivide the field into 3 identical smaller rectan
Fittoniya [83]

Let x be the shorter side, and y be the longer side

 

There would be 4 fences along the shorter side, and 2 fences along the longer side

4x + 2y = 800

Rewrite in terms of y:

y = 400 − 2x

 

The area of the rectangular field is

A = x*y

Replace Y with the equation above:

  A = x(400 − 2x)

  A = − 2x^2 + 400x

 

The area is a parabola that opens downward, the maximum area would occur at the parabola vertex.

At the vertex

x = −b/2a

  = −400/[2(−2)]

  = 100

 

y = 400 −2x

y = 400 -2(100)

y = 400-200

y = 200

 

The dimension of the rectangular field that maximize the enclosed area is 100 ft x 200 ft.
