Maximum area given perimeter is that of a square.

A square has four equal sides so you would have to divide 160 by 4 to get the length of each side.

160÷4=40

Now to find the area you use the formula A=lw.

A=40x40
A=1600

Therefore the maximum area of a rectangular region if you have 160 yards of fencing is 1600 yards²

The maximum area of a rectangle when given perimeter is simply perimeter/sides.
To get the maximum area, simply divide 160 (perimeter) by 4 (sides in a rectangle) and then square the result:
160/4 = 40
40 x 40 = 1600
The maximum area, when the sides are all of the same length, is 1600 square yards.
Hope this helps!

Number 5 am stuck pls help

Answer:

im going to be honest i havent done this since las year and so i dont remember the value of that line outside but i think its 70*

Step-by-step explanation:

reason is because the c is originally 180* but it has more of and angle so the angles obv increases and you can get the angle by multiplying 70*times 7x and divide by 3

i say 3 because of the amount of angles in a triangle and the line outside if i remember correctly is the "angles" of a triangle and that would be your answer

Which fraction is less than 1 chose all of the correct answer, and explain why you chose and write it down and explain your answ

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

$(3/4)$ and $(2/3)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

For a fraction of the form $(p / q)$ , the number in front of the division ( $p$ ) is the numerator. The number after the division ( $q$ ) is the denominator.

$\begin{aligned} \frac{p}{q} \quad \genfrac{}{}{0}{}{(\text{numerator})}{(\text{denominator})}\end{aligned}$ .

A positive fraction $(p/q)$ ( $p,\, q > 0$ ) is less than $1$ as long as the numerator $p$ is smaller than the denominator $q$ (that is, $p < q$ .) The reason is that as long as $p,\, q > 0$ :

$\begin{aligned} & \frac{p}{q} < 1 \\ \iff & (q)\, \left(\frac{p}{q}\right) < (q)\, (1) && (\text{given that $q > 0$}) \\ \iff & p < q\end{aligned}$ .

For example, in the fraction $(2/3)$ , $2$ is the numerator while $3$ is the denominator. Both the numerator and the denominator are positive, while the numerator $2\!$ is smaller than the denominator $3\!$ . Therefore, $(2/3)$ would be less than $1$ .

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to create and algebraic equation for when Jill's weight will be equal to Paris's. If we take their current weight and then add the additional weight gain per month times the number of months, we can calculate the amount of time it will take for their weight to be equal by solving for m.

$120+10m=150+4m\\10m-4m=150-120\\6m=30\\m=5$
