Answer:

The largest rectangular space is 24m^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a 20m long wire fence, implies that the perimeter of the fence has been given, because Perimeter can be defined as the length of the boundary of a figure (in this case, a rectangle)

So, from the formula: Perimeter = 2 (L + B) = 20m^{2}

We have that L + B = 10m^{2}

The possible values of L and B are:

(L, B) = (9, 1), (8, 2), (7, 3) and (6, 4).

The areas of the rectangle that will be formed using these values are respectively; 9m^{2}, 16m^{2}, 21m^{2} and 24m^{2}, the largest area of which is the last which corresponds to the values (6, 4).

The largest rectangular space that the gardener can enclose is therefore 24m^{2}

On Monday John had $500 . Over the weekend he went out to eat for $ 112and used his debit card for movie tickets that cost $28 .
Zepler [3.9K]
This question is a little ambiguously worded, however I assume the answer would simply be:
$500 - $112 - $28 = the amount he has left.
Hope this helped :))

A rectangular pan has a length that is the width. The total area of the pan is 432 in.2. What is the width of the cake pan? A =
spayn [35]

Answer:

Let width = w

length = 4w/3

Area = 432 = length*width = w*4w/3

4w^2/3 = 432

w^2 = 432*3/4 = 324

w = 18

so the width of the cake pan is 18 inches.
