Answer:   f(x)=\dfrac{2000x-x^2}{2}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Perimeter (P) is the total length of the fencing which covers 2 sides of one length and 1 side of another length (because the side along the river does not need fencing).  So, P = 2L+ x  where L is the length and x is the width.

P = 2000 and P = 2L + x   →   2000 = 2L + x

\text{Solve for L:}\\\\2000 = 2L + x\\\\2000-x=2L\\\\\dfrac{2000-x}{2}=L

Area (A) is length x width  →  A = L × x

\text{Use substitution to replace L with}\ \dfrac{2000-x}{2}\\\\A = f(x)=\bigg(\dfrac{2000-x}{2}\bigg)x\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad =\dfrac{2000x-x^2}{2}

Damm [24]

Answer:

<h2>186 : 1</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

1cm = 10mm

Therefore 8cm = 8 · 10mm = 80mm

The scale of the model

\dfrac{model}{real}\to\dfrac{80}{0.43}=\dfrac{80\cdot100}{0.43\cdot100}=\dfrac{8000}{43}\approx186
