A rectangular corral is enclosed using 120 m of fencing. The corral uses the side of a barn as one of its sides, so fencing is r

equired on three sides of the rectangular region. What dimensions would maximize the area enclosed by the fence?

The dimensions would be 40 m by 40 m.

To maximize area and minimize perimeter we make the dimensions as close to equal as possible.  Since we only need fencing on 3 sides, 120/3 = 40; we can use 40 for each side.

If the length of a rectangle is a two-digit number with identical digits and the width is 1/10 the length and the perimeter is 2
Oksanka [162]

If the length of a rectangle is a two-digit number with identical digits and the width is 1/10 the length and the perimeter is 2 times the area of the rectangle, what is the the length and the width

Solution:

Let the length of rectangle=x

Width of rectangle=x/10

Perimeter is 2(Length+Width)

= 2(x+x/10)

Area of Rectangle= Length* Width=x*x/10

As, Perimeter=2(Area)

So,2(x+x/10)=2(x*x/10)

Multiplying the equation with 10, we get,

2(10x+x)=2x²

Adding Like terms, 10x+x=11x

2(11x)=2x^2

22x=2x²

2x²-22x=0

2x(x-11)=0

By Zero Product property, either x=0

or, x-11=0

or, x=11

So, Width=x/10=11/10=1.1

Checking:

So, Perimeter=2(Length +Width)=2(11+1.1)=2*(12.1)=24.2

Area=Length*Width=11*1.1=12.1

Hence, Perimeter= 2 Area

As,24.2=2*12.1=24.2

So, Perimeter=2 Area

So, Answer:Length of Rectangle=11 units

Width of Rectangle=1.1 units

Solving multi step equations 5/6k + 2/3 = 4/3
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

k = 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, rewrite 5/6k as (5/6)k; this is "five sixths of the variable k."

Next, identify the LCD.  It is 6.  Then the given equation becomes

5k + 4 = 8

Consolidate the constant terms:  

5k = 4

Solve for k: k = 4/5
