Answer:

  50 ft by 33 1/3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the dimension perpendicular to the shared fence. Then the dimension parallel to the shared fence will be ...

  y = (200-2x)/3

The area will be the product of these dimensions, so will be ...

  area = xy = x(200 -2x)/3 = (2/3)x(100 -x)

  area = (-2/3)(x^2 -100x)

To complete the square, we need to add the square of half the x-coefficient inside parentheses, and the opposite of that quantity outside parentheses.

  area = (-2/3)(x^2 -100x +2500) +(2/3)(2500) . . . . complete the square

  area = (-2/3)(x -50)^2 + 5000/3

The vertex of this parabolic curve is at x=50, so the dimensions of the maximum area are ...

  x = 50 . . . feet

  y = (200 -2·50)/3 = 33 1/3 . . . feet

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

<h2>$2479.5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we will estimate her monthly earnings

given that she earns $13.05 per hour

and also given that she works for 190 hours in a month

then in a month, her earnings will be

=$13.05*190

=$2479.5

alternatively,

per week she works 47.5hours

in a week she will earn 13.05*47.7= $622.485

4 weeks make a month

then after one month her earning will be

$622.485*4= $2479.5

$70.00 at 5% for 2 years
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

$7

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there

to solve this kind of problem we use the formula:

<h3>\frac{p * t * r}{100} </h3><h3>if we solve it :</h3>

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 5%/100 = 0.05 per year,

then, solving our equation

I = 70 × 0.05 × 2 = 7

I = $ 7.00

The simple interest accumulated

on a principal of $ 70.00

at a rate of 5% per year

for 2 years is $ 7.00.
