Assuming the rectangles made will be of the same size:
Perimeter = 2(l + b)
For two rectangles,
Perimeter = 2 x 2(l + b)
240 = 4(l + b)
l + b = 60
l = 60 - b
Area = l x b
Area = 60b - b²
dA/db = 60 - 2b
Putting dA/db = 0
b = 30
Length = 60 - 30 = 30
Greatest available area of one triangle = 30 x 30
= 900 sq yd
Greatest total area that can be enclosed in both triangels
= 900 x 2
= 1800 sq yd

Alika [10]

Answer:

The answer is option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

(4a - b)(2a - 3b)

Expand the terms

We have

8a² - 12ab - 2ab + 3b²

Which is

8a² - 14ab + 3b²

That's option D.

Hope this helps you

A parabola and its directrix are shown on the graph. On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens upward. It has a vertex at (0, 0) a
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The focus of the parabola is at the point (0, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the focus of a parabola resides at the same distance from the parabola's vertex, as the distance from the parabola's vertex to the directrix, and on the side of the curve's concavity. In fact this is a nice geometrical property of the parabola and the way it can be constructed base of its definition: "All those points on the lane whose distance to the focus equal the distance to the directrix."

Then, the focus must be at a distance of two units from the vertex, (0,0), on in line with the parabola's axis of symmetry (x=0), and on the positive side of the y-axis (notice the directrix is on the negative side of the y-axis. So that puts the focus of this parabola at the point (0, 2)
