Use half the fencing in each direction: 3 segments in one direction, 2 in the other. 

<span>W * L = 24 million </span>
<span>3 W = 2 L </span>

<span>W * 3 W / 2 = 24 million </span>
<span>W^2 = 16 million </span>
<span>W = 4000 </span>
<span>L = 6000 </span>

<span>This shortcut (3 W = 2 L) </span>
<span>is derived from total fencing = 3W + 2L </span>
<span>and W*L = 24 million </span>
<span>total fencing = 3W + 2 * 24 million / W </span>
<span>and taking the derivative, setting to 0, and solving for W</span>

An Article a Florida newspaper reported on the topics that teenagers most want to discuss with their parents. The findings, the
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The estimate is  P__{hat}} \pm E  = 0.37 \pm 0.0348

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The sample size is  n =  522

    The sample proportion of students  would like to talk about school is  \r p__{hat}} =  0.37

  Given that the confidence level is  90 % then the level of significance can be mathematically evaluated as

                  \alpha  =  100 - 90

                  \alpha  =  10\%

                  \alpha  =  0.10

Next we obtain the critical value of  \frac{\alpha }{2} from the normal distribution table, the value is  

               Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =Z_{\frac{0.10}{2} } =  1.645

Generally the margin of error can be mathematically represented as

               E =  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } *  \sqrt{\frac{\r P_{hat}(1- \r P_{hat} )}{n } }

=>            E = 1.645 *  \sqrt{\frac{0.37 (1- 0.37  )}{522 } }

=>             E = 0.0348

Generally the estimate the proportion of all teenagers who want more family discussions about school at 90% confidence level is  

                       P__{hat}} \pm  E

substituting values

                     0.37 \pm 0.0348
