Answer #2 becuase i dont knoe the answer worth 10 points

A fence is to be built to enclose a rectangular area of 450 square feet. The fence along three sides is to be made of material t

Mila [183]

Answer:

The short side is _15___ft and the long side is ___30___ ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

As fence is built in a rectangular area, so we can consider

Let

x be the length of the rectangle

y be width of the rectangle

Given area of rectangle is = 450 ft²

Formula for area of rectangle = Length x width

450 ft² = xy

Solve for y

y = 450/x

now according to given condition

three sides of the fence costs $5 per foot and for the fourth side costs$15 per foot.

We have two condition either the fourth side be x or y

So condition 1: Three sides =(x,y,x) 4-th side = y.

So we can write as 5x,5y,5x and 15 y

Cost C = 5x +5y+5x+15y

= 10x+ 5y+15y

= 5(2x+y) +15y----------------equation 1

= 10x +20y

Adding value of y 450/x

= 10x + 20(450/x)

= 10x + 9000/x

For minimum cost, we can consider the cost to be 0

0 = 10x + 9000/x

Dividing and multiplying by -x/x

0 = -10 +9000/x²

10 = 9000/x²

10x² = 9000/

x²= 900

x = 30

so y = 450/x = 450/30= 15 ft

so adding the values of x and y in equation 1 we will have

cost C= 5(2x+y) +15y----------------equation 1

cost is = 5(2(30)+15) +15(15)

= $600 is the cost

X= 30 y =15

So condition 2: Three sides =(y,x,y) 4-th side = x.

So we can write as 5y,5x,5y and 15 x

Cost C = 5y +5x+5y+15x

= 5x+ 10y+15x

= 5(x+2y) +15x----------------equation 2

= 20x +10y

Adding value of y= 450/x

= 20x + 10(450/x)

= 20x + 4500/x

For minimum cost, we can consider the cost to be 0

0 = 20x + 4500/x

Dividing and multiplying by -x/x

0 = -20 +4500/x²

20 = 4500/x²

20x² = 4500

x²= 4500/20= 225

x = 15

so y = 450/x = 450/15= 30 ft

so adding the values of x and y in equation 2 we will have

cost C= = 5(x+2y) +15x----------------equation 2

cost is = 5(15+2(30) +15(15)

= $600 is the cost

y= 30 x=15

so from both conditions satisfy the cost and the two sides are known as length and width

so dimension will be 15 ft by 30 ft

What is 11 1/2 + 10 11/16=

ahrayia [7]

Hey!

To solve this equation, we must first convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions. To do that we'll multiply the denominator by the whole number and add the total to the numerator.

Original Equation :

$11\frac{1}{2} + 10\frac{11}{16} = ?$

New Equation {Converted Mixed Numbers Into Improper Fractions} :

$\frac{23}{2} + \frac{171}{16} = ?$

Now that we've successfully changed our equation, we'll move onto the next step. Next we'll have change the fractions one more time so that the denominators are the same. To do that we'll multiply two by eight to get sixteen. We'll also be multiplying the top portion of the fraction by eight, because whatever you do to the bottom must also be done to the top; And vise versa.

Fraction Conversion :

$\frac{23*8}{2*8} = \frac{184}{16}$

So, now that we have our new fraction we can go ahead and plug that into our equation so we can start adding. Remember, we don't add the denominators, just the numerators.

Old Equation :

$\frac{23}{2} + \frac{171}{16} = ?$

New Equation {Input New Fraction With Common Denominator} :

$\frac{184}{16} +\frac{171}{16} = ?$

Solution {New Equation Solved} :

$\frac{355}{16}$

Now I'm not exactly sure how your instructor will accept your answer, but most prefer the final answer to be in the simplest form. In other words, they don't want it in the form of an improper fraction. They'd most likely rather have it as a mixed number.

New Solution {Converted to a Mixed Number} :

$22\frac{3}{16}$
