off the area with. What is the maximum area that they can rope off?

Area is equal to length times width. The perimeter (the amount of rope) has to equal twice the length added to twice the width so we're left with:
A = l * w
200 = 2l + 2w
solve for either l or w
l = 100 - w
plug into the area equation to get one equation with two variables
A = w(100 - w)
A = -w^2 + 100w
take the derivative
A' = -2w + 100
set the derivative equal to zero
0 = -2w + 100
2w = 100
w = 50
This is the width that maximizes the area
with a width of 50, the length must also be 50 to have a perimeter of 200
therefore, they can rope up to 50 * 50 = 2500 ft^2

What is the measure of an anglethat is supplementary to an angle of 37°? A. 127° B. 53° C. 143° D. 323°​
KengaRu [80]

<u>Answer:</u>

143°

option c is correct!

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Two angles are supplementary:

One angle = 37°

We know if two angles are supplementary their sum is equal to 180°.

Let another angle be x°

= > 37° + x° = 180

= > x° = 143°

Therefore another angle is 143°.

1.5( x + 4) -3 = 4.5 ( x - 2 )
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5(x + 4) - 3 = 4.5(x - 2)

1.5x + 6 - 3 = 4.5x - 9

1.5x + 3 = 4.5x - 9

3 + 9 = 4.5x - 1.5x

12 = 3x

12/3 = x

An advertiser drops 10,000 leaflets on a city which has 2000 blocks. Assume that each leaflet has an equal chance of landing on
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

0.00673

Step-by-step explanation:

As each of the 10000 leaflets has equal chance on landing into 1 of the 2000 blocks, this means each leaflet has a probability of 1/2000 to land on the 1st block, 1/2000 to land on the 2nd lock, 1/2000 to land on the 3rd block, and so on.

The probability that a particular block will receive no leaflet is chance of each leaflets to land on the other 1999 blocks, which has a chance of 1999/2000. For all 10000 leaflets to happen like this independently, then the total probability is

\left(\frac{1999}{2000}\right)^{10000} = 0.00673
