Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a)Given that the length of fencing available is 400 yards. This means that the perimeter of the rectangle is 400 yards.

the perimeter of a rectangle is given as:

Perimeter = 2(length + width) = 2(l + w)

Hence;

400 = 2(l + w)

200 = l + w

l = 200 - w

The area of a rectangle is given as:

Area = length × width

Area = (200 - w) × w

Area = 200w - w²

b) For a quadratic equation y = ax² + bx + c. it has a maximum at x = -b/2a

Hence, for the area = 200w - w² a=-1, b = 200, the maximum width is at:

w = -b/2a = -200/2(-1) = -200/-2 = 100

A width of 100 yard has the largest area

c) l = 200 - w = 200 - 100 = 100 yards

Area = l × w = 100 × 100 = 10000 yd²

The maximum area is 10000 yd²

How can you determine which of two lines will be steeper from
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Well on a table of data, if the y coordinates increase a lot over a short x distance then it will be steep.

In an equation, you would put it into y = mx + b form and whatever your m is will be your slope. If m is large, it will be steep.

Plot of land between two roads are laid out according to the boundaries shown. The boundaries between the two roads are parallel
FinnZ [79.3K]
Given: 
                Cheshire Road           Shelby Road
Plot 1           40 yards                       48 yards
Plot 3                x                                56 yards


To solve for x, we get the ratio and proportion of both plots.

40/48 = x/56

Do cross multiplication.

40 * 56 = 48 * x
2,240 = 48x
2,240/48 = 48x/48
46.67 = x

Plot 3 of Chesire Road measures 46.67 or 46 2/3 yards.  Choice A.

If both spinners are spun simultaneously, what is the probability that both spinners will land on orange?

Answer:

The probability that neither land on orange is (1/2)* (7/8) = 7/16. Hence, the probability that at least one lands on orange is 1 - 7/16 = 9/16.
