Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the length and y be the width of the rectangular plot.
The plot is bounded on one side by a river and on the other three sides by a single-strand electric fence. It means,
x+2y = 1500
x = 1500 - 2y ....(1)
We know that the area of a rectangular plot is given by :
A = xy ....(2)
Put the value of x from equation (1) in (2)
.....(3)
For largest area, differentiate above area equation wrt y.
Put the value of y in equation (1).
x = 1500-2(375)
= 750 m
Put the value of y in equation (3).
Hence, the largest area is 281250 m² and its dimensions are 750 m and 375 m.
Answer:
you can get 12 gallons on gas
Step-by-step explanation:
x/30=1/2.42
step 1) cross multiply
x * 2.42 = 1 * 30
2.42x=30
step 2) divide both sides by 2.42
2.42x/2.42 = 30/2.42
= 12.396694
round to the nearest gallon
≈12 gallons
There are 5 sides on a pentagon. penta=5 sides
5(2x - 8) + 15 = -15
-15 -15 subtract 15 from each side
5(2x - 8) = -30
÷5 ÷5 divide both sides by 5
2x - 8 = -6
+8 +8 add 8 to each side
2x=2
÷2 ÷2 divide both sides by 3
x = 1
Checking:
5(2(1)-8) + 15 = -15
5(-6) + 15 = -15
-30 + 15 = -15
-15 = -15 Correct! x=1
