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:


Step-by-step explanation:

First, make sure you know which section of the number line you want as 1 and 2. Next, put 0.25 not right at 0 but very close, then put 0.75 farther but not too much from 0.25. Then for the decimal 1.99 put that very close to where you marked the 2 but, not on the 2. Finally, put 2.03  very close to 2 but not exactly on the 2. Also, make sure that the number line is marked evenly.

In ΔUVW, w = 3 inches, ∠W=23° and ∠U=73°. Find the length of u, to the nearest 10th of an inch.
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

<h2>7.4inches</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Check the attachment for the diagram. Sine rule will be used to get the unknown side of the triangle.

According to the rule;

\frac{u}{sinU} =  \frac{v}{sinV} = \frac{w}{sinW}\\\frac{u}{sinU} = \frac{w}{sinW}

Given w = 3 in, ∠W=23° and ∠U=73°, on substituting into the equation above to get u we have;

\frac{u}{sin73^{0} } = \frac{3}{sin23^{0} }\\usin23^{0} = 3sin73^{0}\\u = \frac{3sin73^{0} }{sin23^{0} }\\u = \frac{2.87}{0.39} \\u = 7.358\\u = 7.4in

The length of u is 7.4inches to nearest 10th of an inch
