A farmer Has 900 yards of fencing to enclose a rectangular pasture for her goats. Since one side of the pasture borders a river,

horsena [70]

Answer:

Length, l=450 yards

Width, b=225 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the long side be x and since the length is twice the width, then the width is half of that length hence 0.5x. Since we only have three parts to fence as one long side doesn't require fencing, then the perimeter will be given by x+0.5x+0.5x=2x=900 yards

X=900/2=450 yards for long side.

The short side is 0.5x hence 0.5*450=225 yards

In conclusion, the long side is 450 yards while short side is 225 yards.

We have to find the mass of the gold bar.

We have gold bar in the shape of a rectangular prism.

The length, width, and the height of the gold bar is 18.00 centimeters, 9.21 centimeters, and 4.45 centimeters respectively.

First of all we will find the volume of the gold bar which is given by the volume of rectangular prism:

Volume of the gold bar $= length \times width\times height$
