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!

The length of a rectangle is 59 inches greater than twice the width. If the diagonal is 2 inches more than the length, find the

Paul [167]

So.. hmm notice the picture here

we know the length is 59 more than twice the width,
twice the width, 2 * w, or 2w
59 more than that
2w + 59

we also know that, whatever that is, the diagonal of it is,
2 more inches than that, or
(2w + 59) + 2

now.. use the pythagorean theorem
$\bf c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \qquad 
\begin{cases}
a=2w+59\\
b=w\\
c=(2w+59)+2\to 2w+61
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
(2w+61)^2=(2w+59)^2+(w)^2
\\ \qquad\qquad \uparrow\qquad \qquad\qquad \qquad \uparrow \\
\textit{expand using binomial theorem, or FOIL}$

you'd end up with a quadratic, after simplifying, solve for "w"

The mean absolute deviation,like where do I take it from?

timofeeve [1]

So Mean Absolute Deviation or MAD for short is the Mean of how far each digit is from the Mean. So first find the mean, then for each number so let's say the mean is 3 and the numbers are 2, 4, 3. So 3-2=1, 4-3=1, 3-3=0. So you have 1, 1, 0. Find the mean of that 1+1+0=2/3 so the MAD is 2/3.

So just follow my steps
1. Find the mean
2. Find the difference from the mean of each number
3. Find the mean of step 2
4. Step 3 is your answer
