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

Solve for n.<br> 3/4 x n = 1
cestrela7 [59]
3/4 times n=1

remember that when you multiply 3/4 by 4/3 you get 12/12=1 so it simplifies
remember that you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides

3/4 ties n=1
multiply both sides by 4/3 to clar fraction
12/12 times n=4/3 times 1
1 times n=4/3
n=4/3

answer is n=4/3 or 1 and 1/3
