A security fence encloses a rectangular area on one side of a park in a city. three sides of fencing are? used, since the fourth

side of the area is formed by a building. the enclosed area measures 392392 square feet. exactly 5656 feet of fencing is used to fence in three sides of this rectangle. what are the possible dimensions that could have been used to construct this? area?

Let x = length of the park
Let y = width of the park

Because the area is 392392 ft², therefore
xy = 392392          (1)
Because three sides of fencing measure 5656 ft, therefore
2x + y = 5656        (2)
That is
y = 5656 - 2x          (3)
Substitute (3) into (1).
x(5656 - 2x) = 392392
5656x - 2x² = 392392
2x² -5656x + 392392 = 0
x² - 2828x + 196196 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula.
x = (1/2)*[2828 +/- √(2828² - 4*196196)]
   = 2756.83 or 71.17

Answer:
The possible dimensions are 2756.8 ft and 71.2 ft (nearest tenth)

1) In class you worked with a "big" cube made of 27 smaller cubes each of which was 1 cmby 1 cm by 1 cm. Suppose you had 150 of
abruzzese [7]

The information provided is that you have smaller cubes that measure 1 cm on either of the three sides. In order words if you lie each cube side by side you would have the length/width/height of the indicate sides.

For a cube made up of 27 smaller cubes, you can determine the length of each side by factoring the entire size provided. That means for a cube made up of 27 smaller cubes you would have;

27=3\times3\times3

This means you would have 3 smaller cubes on the length, 3 smaller cubes on the width and 3 smaller cubes on the height.

Therefore, if you now have 150 of the smaller cubes, by factoring this you would have the following possibility;

\begin{gathered} 150=2\times3\times5\times5 \\ 150=6\times5\times5 \end{gathered}

This means you would have one side (length) 6 cubes, on another side (width) 5 cubes and on the third side (height) 5 cubes.

That means with 150 smaller cubes you could make a cube with the dimensions,

\begin{gathered} \text{Length}=6\operatorname{cm} \\ \text{Width}=5\operatorname{cm} \\ \text{Height}=5\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}

ANSWER:

The largest big cube you could make would be a 6 cm by 5 cm by 5cm big cube

Calculate the quotient and the reminder by dividing f(x)=3x^3 - 5x^2 + x - 2 by g(x) = x + 2 .​
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f ( x ) = 3 x ^ { 3 } - 5 x ^ { 2 } + x - 2 g ( x ) = x + 2

Subtract 3x³ from each sides.

-5x^{2}+x-2gx=x+2-3x^{3}

Add 5x² to both sides.

x-2gx=x+2-3x^{3}+5x^{2}

Subtract x from both sides.

-2gx=x+2-3x^{3}+5x^{2}-x

Combine x and -x to get 0.

-2gx=2-3x^{3}+5x^{2}

The equation is in standard form.

\left(-2x\right)g=2+5x^{2}-3x^{3}

Divide both sides by -2x.

\frac{\left(-2x\right)g}{-2x}=\frac{2+5x^{2}-3x^{3}}{-2x}

Dividing bu -2x undoes the multiplication by -2x.

g=\frac{2+5x^{2}-3x^{3}}{-2x}

Divide 2-3x³ +5x² by -2x.

g=\frac{3x^{2}}{2}-\frac{5x}{2}-\frac{1}{x}

What is the tangent ratio for ∠A?
tiny-mole [99]

for this case we have to define trigonometric relations of rectangular triangles, that the tangent of an angle is given by the leg opposite the angle on the leg adjacent to the angle. So:

tg (A) = \frac {6} {8} = \frac {3} {4}

Answer:

tg (A) = \frac {3} {4}
