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

A dinosaur fossil is 93,550,000 years old. How can you express this age in scientific notation
garik1379 [7]

1. 9.355 × 10^{7} can be used to express the age of the dinosaur fossil.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; To determine which value is the closest to 93,550,000 we must calculate how much the 4 options equal. If there are decimals in the number, they are moved from the decimal part of the number to the integer part with every power of 10 i.e. 2.4 × 10 = 24, 2.44 × 10² = 244.

Step 2; Now we determine how much the 4 options equal.

1. 9.355 × 10^{7} = 93,550,000.

2. 9 × 10^{7} = 90,000,000.

3. 9.36 × 10^{7} = 93,600,000.

4. 9.3 × 10^{7} = 93,000,000.

Out of the four options, option 1 equals the value of 93,550,000. So option 1 can be used to express the age with the highest precision.

It takes 5 cups of flour to bake a loaf of bread. How many loaves can be made with 37 cups of flour?
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

We can make around 7 loaves of bread with 37 cups of flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 5 cups of flour to bake a loaf of bread.

i.e.

5 cups of flour = 1 loaf of bread

Thus,

37 cups of flour can be determined by dividing 37 by 5.

37/5 = 7.4

        = 7 loaves of bread   (rounding to the whole number)

Therefore, we can make around 7 loaves of bread with 37 cups of flour.
