Answer:

6050 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the diagram attached, the area which the available fencing can enclose will measure X x Y feet. As the total length of fencing available is 220 feet, the fenced perimeter must equal 220 feet

Y + 2X = 220

Y = 220 - 2X

Area of a rectangle is determined by multiplying the length of perpendicular sides:

Area = X*Y

Area = X(220 - 2X)

Area = 220X - 2X^{2}

The derivative of an equation determines the slope at any given point of that equation. At the maximum or minimum point of the equation, the slope will be zero. Therefore, differentiating the equation for area and equating it to zero will give the value of X where the area is maximum.

A simple variable can be differentiated using below concept:

f(a) = a^{b}

f'(a) = ba^{b-1}

Using the above concepts to differentiate Area and calculate X will give:

Area = 220X - 2X^{2}

Area' = 220 - 4X = 0

X = 55

Calculating Y:

Y = 220 - 2X

Y = 220 - 2(55)

Y = 110

Calculating Area:

Area = X*Y

Area = 55*110

Area = 6050\sqfeet

To solve y and x, I am adding a picture
Viktor [21]

Answer:

x =\sqrt 5

y = \sqrt{5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached triangle

Required

Solve for x

Considering angle 45 degrees, we have:

\cos(45) = \frac{y}{\sqrt{10}} --- cosine formula i.e. adj/hyp

Solve for y

y = \sqrt{10} * \cos(45)

In radical form, we have:

y = \sqrt{10} * \frac{1}{\sqrt 2}

y = \sqrt{10/2}

y = \sqrt{5

To solve for x, we make use of Pythagoras theorem

x^2 + y^2 = (\sqrt{10})^2

x^2 + y^2 =10

Substitute for y

x^2 + (\sqrt 5)^2 =10

x^2 + 5 =10

Collect like terms

x^2  =10-5

x^2=   5

Solve for x

x =\sqrt 5

What is x and how do I do this help-
GaryK [48]

Answer:

x=18

Step-by-step explanation:

all the interior angles in a pentagon = 540. use to interior angle theorem. then just add all the angles up and make them = to 540 like this: 540=95+90+(7x-4)+(3x+23)+(9x-6). then solve using algebra

ale4655 [162]

Answer: 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Pranav ate pizza for dinner on Monday night and had 2/3 of the pizza left over. We are further told that on Tuesday night, he ate 1/2 of what was left.

The amount of pizza that Pranav ate on Tuesday will be:

= 1/2 × 2/3

= 1/3

She ate 1/3 on Tuesday
