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

① 5J+2S =12.20 ② 5J+ 10S =15.80 elimination method
hram777 [196]

Answer:

<h2>S = 9/20</h2><h2>J = 113/50</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

5J +2S =12.20 ........(1)\\5J+10S=15.80......(2)\\Multiply \:equation \:(1)\:by\:the\:coefficient\:of\:x\:in equation\:(2)\\\\Multiply\:equation(2)\: by\: the\: coefficient\:of \:x\: in \:equation (1)\\\\5J +2S =12.20 ........(1) \times 5\\5J+10S=15.80......(2)\times 5\\\\25J+10S=61......(3)\\25J+50S = 79......(4)\\Subtract\:equation\:(4)\:from\: equation\: (3)\\-40S =-18\\\frac{-40S}{-40}=\frac{-18}{-40}\\  S = 9/20\\

Substitute \:9/20\:for \:x \:in\:equation\:(1)\:or \:equation\:(2)\\5J+2S = 12.20\\5J +2(9/20) =12.20\\5J +9/10=12.20\\5J=12.20-9/10\\5J=113/10\\Cross-Multiply\\50J = 113\\J = 113/50
