Suppose you want to fence in some land along the edge of a straight river. the fenced area will be in the shape of a rectangle,

and the side along the river will not be fenced. you have 950 meters of fencing to use. what will be the dimensions of the fenced-in region that has the largest area?

For the largest area, half the fence is used parallel to the river, and the other half is used for the two ends of the rectangular space.

The dimensions are 475 m by 237.5 m.

_____
Let x represent the length along the river. Then the area (A) is found as
.. A = x*(950 -x)/2
This equation describes a parabola with its vertex (maximum) halfway between the zeros of x=0 and x=950. That is, the maximum area is achieved when half the fence is used parallel to the river.

I don’t understand, help me out
Vikki [24]

Answer:

a. 76 b. 52

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of its four sides.

Now all rectangles have a width and a length.

To find the perimeter it is 2 width + 2 length or 2W +2L.

So if the Perimeter P = 344 and Width W = 76 and P = 2W + 2L

Then...

2(76) + 2L = 344 multiply 2 and 76

2L + 152 = 344 subtract 152 from both sides

2L = 192 divide both sides by 2

L = 96

The length is 96.

The equation of an area of a rectangle is A or  area = width x length or W x L

So the equation is A = W x L

If the area is 4732 and the length is 91 then

91W = 4732 divide both sides by 91

W = 52

The width is 52.

Hope that helps, good luck with your homework!
