Problema Solution

You have 800 feet of fencing and you want to make two fenced in enclosures by splitting one enclosure in half. What are the largest dimensions of this enclosure that you could build?

Answer provided by our tutors

Make a drawing and denote:


x = half of the length of the enclosure


2x = the length of the enclosure


y = the width of the enclosure


P = 800 ft the perimeter


The perimeter of the two enclosures can be expressed P = 4x + 2y thus


4x + 3y = 800


Solving for y:

y = 800/3 - 4x/3


The area of the two enclosure is A = 2xy.


Substituting y = 800/3 - 4x/3 in A = 2xy we get


A = 2x(800/3 - 4x/3)


A =1600x/3 - 8x^2/3


We need to find the x for which the parabolic function A = (- 8/3)x^2 + (1600/3)x has maximum: 


x max = -b/2a, a = (-8/3), b = 1600/3


x max = (-1600/3)/(2*(-8/3))


x max = 100 ft


y = 800/3 - 4*100/3


y = 133.33 ft


2x = 2*100


2x = 200 ft

Heron’s formula: Area = Triangle PQR has sides measuring 9 feet and 10 feet and a perimeter of 24 feet. What is the area of tria
VladimirAG [237]
Hello,

Let's assume a,b,c the 3 sides of the triangle.

a=9
b=10
c=24-a-b=5

p= \dfrac{a+b+c}{2} =12\\

S= \sqrt{p(p-a)(p-b)(p-c)} = \sqrt{12*3*2*7} = \sqrt{504} =22,4499...\approx{22}
