Answer:
525 x 1,050
A = 551,250 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'L' be the length parallel to the river and 'S' be the length of each of the other two sides.
The length of the three sides is given by:
The area of the rectangular plot is given by:
The value of 'S' for which the area's derivate is zero, yields the maximum total area:
Solving for 'L':
The largest area enclosed is given by dimension of 525 m x 1,050 and is:
Let be "x" the number of colored pencils in the box.
According to the information given in the exercise, there are 84 pencils in the box and 53 of them are regular pencils.
Knowing this information, you can set up the following equation:
Finally, you have to solve for the variable "x" in order to find its value. In order to do this, you can apply the Subtraction property of equality by subtracting 53 from both sides of the equation:
The answer is: There are 31 colored pencils in the box.
