Maria plans to use fencing to build an enclosure or enclosures for her two horses. A single enclosure would be square shaped and

require an area of 2,025 ft2. Two individual adjacent enclosures would be rectangular, with dimensions 20 ft by 40 ft with a 40 ft divider between the two enclosures.
Which statement explains the design Maria should choose to minimize her costs?

a The singular enclosure would minimize cost because it requires 180 feet of fencing.
b The singular enclosure would minimize cost because it has the smallest area.
c The two individual enclosures would minimize cost because they require 200 feet of fencing.
d The two individual enclosures would minimize cost because they have the largest area.


The answer is A

Step 1
find the perimeter of a <span>single enclosure
perimeter of a square=4*b
where b is the long side of a square
area square=b</span>²
area square=2025 ft²
b²=2025-------> b=√2025-----> b=45 ft
<span>so
perimeter=4*45-------> 180 ft

step 2
</span>find the perimeter of a two individual enclosure
<span>perimeter=4*20+3*40------> 200 ft
area=20*40*2------> 1600 ft</span>²
<span>
therefore
fencing singular enclosure < fencing two individual enclosure
180 ft < 200 ft

</span>area singular enclosure > area two individual enclosure
2025 ft² > 1600 ft²<span>

the answer is the option
</span><span>a The singular enclosure would minimize cost because it requires 180 feet of fencing.</span><span>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric mean problem...a ratio. The geometric mean is the height of the triangle, 6. To solve:

\frac{x}{6} =\frac{6}{3} and cross multiply to solve for x:

3x = 36 so

x = 12

Roger the park ranger was standing in a look out tower that was 200 ft tall. Looks down, sees a fire. Angle of depression is 7 d
Ainat [17]

Answer:

approx. 24.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

x=the distance of the fire from the base of the tower

200ft=the height of the tower

7 degrees=the angle of depression

Using these values you can draw a diagram that highlights that you need to use trig. to work out the answer.

Using Tan:

Tan 7=x/200 ft

multiply both sides by 200 ft

200*tan 7=24.55691218

approx. 24.6 ft
