Answer:
a) Each corral should be 33⅓ ft long and 25 ft wide
b) The total enclosed area is 1666⅔ ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume that the corrals have identical dimensions and are to be fenced as in the diagram below
Let x = one dimension of a corral
and y = the other dimension
(a) Dimensions to maximize the area
The total length of fencing used is:
4x + 3y = 200
4x = 200 – 3y
x = 50 - ¾y
The area of one corral is A = xy, so the area of the two corrals is
A = 2xy
Substitute the value of x
A = 2(50 - ¾y)y
A = 100 y – (³/₂)y²
This is the equation for a downward-pointing parabola:
A = (-³/₂)y² + 100y
a = -³/₂; b = 100; c = 0
The vertex (maximum) occurs at
y = -b/(2a) = 100 ÷ (2׳/₂) = 100 ÷ 3 = 33⅓ ft
4x + 3y = 100
Substitute the value of y
4x + 3(33⅓) = 200
4x + 100 = 200
4x = 100
x = 25 ft
Each corral should measure 33⅓ ft long and 25 ft wide.
Step 2. Calculate the total enclosed area
The enclosed area is 50 ft long and 33⅓ ft wide.
A = lw = 50 × 100/3 = 5000/3 = 1666⅔ ft²
Answer:
The length of the third side is ( x - 2 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of a box is the product of its length, width and height.
Volume of box = length × width × height.
One side is (x - 4) and another side is (2x + 1).
These given sides can be either length, height or width.
The volume of a box is given by V = 2x3-11x2 +10x +8. This means each of the sides are factors of the volume. To get the third side, we divide the volume by the product of the two given sides.
Product of the two given sides =
( x-4 ) (2x + 1) = 2x^2 + x - 8x + 4
= 2x^2 - 7x - 4
The long division is shown on the attached photo
The length of the third side is ( x - 2 )
