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.

The perimeter of a triangle is 32 feet. One side of the triangle is 3 times the second side. The third side is 12 feet longer
Ivenika [448]

We have a triangle whose perimeter is 32 feet. Some information regarding the sides of the triangle is given:

GiveN:

  • One side is 3 times the second side.
  • Third side is 12 feet longer than the second side.

As we can see that, two sides of the triangle are defined the second sides. It means First and third side can be expressed in the form of second side.

  • So let the second side be x

Then,

  • First side = 3x
  • And, third side = x + 12

We know that, perimeters is the sum of the lengths of all sides of the triangle, So it can be written as:

3x + x + x + 12 = 32

Solving it further,

5x + 12 = 32

Subtracting 12 from both sides,

5x + 12 - 12 = 32 - 12

5x = 20

Dividing 5 from both sides,

\frac{5x}{5}  =  \frac{20}{5}

x = 4

Then,

  • First side = 3x = 12 feet
  • Second side = 4 feet
  • Third side = x + 12 = 16 feet

And we are done with the answer !!
