Answer:
- 160 ft (out from the river)
- 320 ft (parallel to the river)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of fence parallel to the river. Then the dimension of perpendicular to the river will be half the remaining fence: (640-x)/2. The total area will be ...
A = x(640-x)/2
This is the equation of a parabola that opens downward. It has zeros at x=0 and x=640, so its axis of symmetry is x = (0+640)/2 = 320. That is, the peak of the area curve is found when x=320.
The dimensions of the garden with the largest area are 160 ft wide by 320 ft long, where the long side is the river side.
Answer:
7. A = 40.8 deg; B = 60.6 deg; C = 78.6 deg
8. A = 20.7 deg; B = 127.2 deg; C = 32.1 deg
Step-by-step explanation:
Law of Cosines
You know the lengths of the sides, so you know a, b, and c. You can use the law of cosines to find C, the measure of angle C.
Then you can use the law of cosines again for each of the other angles. An easier way to solve for angles A and B is, after solving for C with the law of cosines, solve for either A or B with the law of sines and solve for the last angle by the fact that the sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180 deg.
7.
We use the law of cosines to find C.
Now we use the law of sines to find angle A.
Law of Sines
We know c and C. We can solve for a.
Cross multiply.
To find B, we use
m<A + m<B + m<C = 180
40.8 + m<B + 78.6 = 180
m<B = 60.6 deg
8.
I'll use the law of cosines 3 times here to solve for all the angles.
Law of Cosines
Find angle A:
Find angle B:
Find angle C:
Answer:
5:15
Step-by-step explanation:
The shorter "leg" show the hour and the longer "leg" shows the minutes. The minutes around the clock goes by 5s.
