Let the lengths of the sides of the rectangle be x and y. Then A(Area) = xy and 2(x+y)=300. You can use substitution to make one equation that gives A in terms of either x or y instead of both.

2(x+y) = 300
x+y = 150
y = 150-x

A=x(150-x) <--(substitution)

The resulting equation is a quadratic equation that is concave down, so it has an absolute maximum. The x value of this maximum is going to be halfway between the zeroes of the function. The zeroes of the function can be found by setting A equal to 0:
0=x(150-x)
x=0, 150

So halfway between the zeroes is 75. Plug this into the quadratic equation to find the maximum area.

A=75(150-75)
A=75*75
A=5625

So the maximum area that can be enclosed is 5625 square feet.

Answer:

23.6°

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have to use some trigonometry to work out angle XVW. Since we are working out angles all of the trigonometric functions will have to be to the ⁻¹. The first thing we need to identify is will formula will we use out of the following:

Sin⁻¹ = Opposite ÷ Hypotenuse

Tan⁻¹ = Opposite ÷ Adjacent

Cos⁻¹ = Adjacent ÷ Hypotenuse

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10 = Hypotenuse

4 = Opposite

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We know which formula to use because the length won't be in the triangle for example we will be using the Sin triangle because we don't have an adjacent. If we don't have an adjacent then the other formula's won't work.

Now we substitute in the values to find the value of angle XVW

Sin⁻¹ = Opposite ÷ Hypotenuse

Sin⁻¹ = 4 ÷ 10

The value of angle XVW is 23.57817848

The slope of the line whose equation is x-3y= 1 is<br> 0-3<br> -1/3<br> 0<br> 0<br> 1/3
insens350 [35]

x-3y= 1

The equation needs to be rewritten in proper Slope intercept form ( y = mx+b) where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

x-3y = 1

Subtract x from each side:

-3y = 1-x

Divide both sides by -3:

y = 1/-3 - x/-3

Simplify:

y = 1/3x - 1/3

The slope is 1/3
