Let width = w
Let length = l
Let area = A
3w+2l=1200
2l=1200-3w
l=1200-3/2
A=w*l
A=w*(1200-3w)/2
A=600w-(3/2)*w^2
If I set A=0 to find the roots, the maximum will be at wmax=-b/2a which is exactly 1/2 way between the roots-(3/2)*w^2+600w=0
-b=-600
2a=-3
-b/2a=-600/-3
-600/-3=200
w=200
And, since 3w+2l=1200
3*200+2l=1200
2l = 600
l = 300
The dimensions of the largest enclosure willbe when width = 200 ft and length = 300 ft
check answer:
3w+2l=1200
3*200+2*300=1200
600+600=1200
1200=1200
and A=w*l
A=200*300
A=60000 ft2
To see if this is max area change  w and l slightly but still make 3w+2l=1200 true, like
w=200.1
l=299.85
A=299.85*200.1
A=59999.985

Scale of a model airplane to the actual airplane is 1 inch equals 10 feet. How many times longer the actual plane is than the mo
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

120 times

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want to find a qunatity is how many times as other quantity, we have to divide the large one by the small one (remember, same units).

Let's make both into inches.

We have 1 inch [model]

also

10 feet * 12 = 120 inches

Thus, we can say:

120/1 = 120 times

So, Actual Plane is 120 times than model airplane

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

90. 04987916

Step-by-step explanation:

Let HI be a

and GH be c

and GI be b

and <GHI be B

Using the law of Cosines,

b^2= -2ac cos (B) + c^2 + a^2

= -2(42)(60) cos (123)+60^2+42^2

= -5040 cos (123) +3600+1764

= -5040(-0. 544639035) +5364

= 2744. 980736+5364

b^2= 8108. 980736

b= Sqrt ( 8108. 980736)

b= 90. 04987916
