Let x be the length and y be the width2x + 2y = 40x + y = 20change that into y = mx + b formy= 20 – x
Area =xy = x (20-x) = 20x - x^2Area=-x^2+20xcomplete the square:Area=-(x^2 – 20x + 100) +100=-(x - 10)^2 + 100This is an calculation of a parabola that opens downward with vertex at (10,100), which means maximum area of 100 happens when x, the length=10)Dimensions of the rectangle with maximum area? 10 yds. by 10 yds., a square.

So what you do is multiply 60, 30, and 100 together to get 180,000. Then divide 180,000 by 18,000 (simplify it to 180 ÷ 18) and the answer is 10. So they could turn it up 10 notches.

Team infinite dimensions canoed 15 3/4 miles in 3 hours. what was their average rate of speed in miles per hour?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
Miles per hour

(15 and 3/4) miles per 3 hours

remember that
(a+b)/c=(a/c)+(b/c)
and
a and c/d=a+c/d

so

(15 and 3/4)/3=(15/3)+(3/4)/3
remember that dividing by a number is like multiplying by a fraction
15/3=5
(3/4)/3=(3/4) times (1/3)=3/12=1/4

(15/3)+(3/4)/3=5+1/4=5 and 1/4

answer is 5 and 1/4 miles per hour
