A farmer wishes to enclose a rectangular pasture with 1200 ft of fence. He needs to divide this rectangle into two smaller recta

ngles by running a fence down the middle of it parallel to the other two sides. He has 1200 ft of fence with which to do this. Find the maximum total area of the enclosure

Answer:60,000 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

total of 1200 ft of fence is available

Suppose rectangular pasture has following dimension as shown in figure.

total perimeter

P=4a+3b

1200=4a+3b

4a=1200-3b

a=300-\frac{3}{4}b

Area of rectangle is

A=2a\times b

A=2(300-\frac{3}{4}b)b

A=2[300 b-\frac{3}{4}b^2]

For maximum area, differentiate A w.r.t b

\frac{\mathrm{d} A}{\mathrm{d} b}=300-\frac{3}{2}b=0

300=\frac{3}{2}b

b=200 ft

so a=300-150=150\ ft

so area is

A=2\times 150\times 200

A=60,000 ft^2

Answer:

  83 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The attached diagram shows the lengths of the midlines to be 3.16 and 5.10 units on the coordinate plane. The sum of these is (3.16 +5.10) = 8.26 coordinate plane units. Since each unit on the coordinate plane represents 10 m, the total path length is about ...

  8.26(10 m) = 82.6 m ≈ 83 m

_____

The distance formula will tell you the distances are ...

  AC = √(3² +1²) = √10

  BD = √(5² +1²) = √26

The total path length is about (10 m)(√10 +√26) ≈ 82.61230 m ≈ 83 m.

511 = -7 (10x – 13)<br> steps
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer: x=-6

<u>Simplify both sides of the equation</u>

<u></u>511=(-7)(10x)+(-7)(-13)(Distribute)\\511=-70x+91<u></u>

<u></u>

<u>Flip the equation</u>

<u></u>-70x+91=511<u></u>

<u></u>

<u>Subtract 91 from both sides</u>

<u></u>-70x+91-91=511-91\\-70x=420<u></u>

<u></u>

<u>Divide both sides by -70</u>

<u></u>-70x/70=420/-70\\x=-6<u></u>
