Answer:

  y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Each side of an equilateral triangle will have a length that is 1/3 the perimeter. This triangle has sides of length 21/3 = 7, so ...

  y + 10 = 7

  y = 7 - 10

  y = -3

This is consistent with the other given side measure ...

  y^2 -2 = (-3)^2 -2 = 9 -2 = 7

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

  • 50 ft by 75 ft
  • 3750 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the side not parallel to the partition. Then the length of the side parallel to the partition is ...

  y = (300 -2x)/3

And the enclosed area is ...

  A = xy = x(300 -2x)/3 = (2/3)(x)(150 -x)

This is the equation of a parabola with x-intercepts at x=0 and x=150. The line of symmetry, hence the vertex, is located halfway between these values, at x=75.

The maximum area is enclosed when the dimensions are ...

  50 ft by 75 ft

That maximum area is 3750 square feet.

_____

<em>Comment on the solution</em>

The generic solution to problems of this sort is that half the fence (cost) is used in each of the orthogonal directions. Here, half the fence is 150 ft, so the long side measures 150'/2 = 75', and the short side measures 150'/3 = 50'. This remains true regardless of the number of partitions, and regardless if part or all of one side is missing (e.g. bounded by a barn or river).

Answer:

13.75

Step-by-step explanation:

make a ratio between the original lengths, 11 : 5.5

then put the ratio of the enlarged lengths, 27.5 : __

now you divide 27.5 by 11 to find how many times you multiplied the lengths, 2.5.

now you multiply 5.5 by 2.5 giving you the answer of 13.75
