Mark bought a new car and wanted to see the accuracy of the highway and city mileage. He recorded the average mpg for nine diffe
rent trips on the highway and in the city and created the graph shown to analyze the distribution.
Which statement correctly compares the distributions?
A) At one time he got 50 more mpg in the city than on the highway.
B) When driving on the highway he gets 22 mpg more than when driving in the city.
C) On average the gas mileage in the city was about 4 mpg less than that on the highway.
D) On average, the gas mileage in the city was about 4 mpg better than that on the highway.

Let
x-----> the length of rectangle
y-----> the width of rectangle
we know that
perimeter of rectangle=2*[x+y]
perimeter of rectangle=82 m
82=2*[x+y]---> divide by 2 both sides---> 41=x+y--> y=41-x---> equation 1
Area of rectangle=x*y
substitute equation 1 in the area formula
Area=x*[41-x]----> 41x-x²
using a graph tool
see the attached figure
the vertex is the point (20.5,420.25)
that means
for x=20.5 m ( length of rectangle)
the area is 420.25 m²
y=420.25/20.5----> 20.5 m
the dimensions are
20.5 m x 20.5 m------> is a square
the answer part 1)
<span>the dimensions of the rectangular with Maximum area is a square with length side 20.5 meters
</span>
Part 2)<span>b) Suppose 41 barriers each 2m long, are used instead. Can the same area be enclosed?
</span>divide the length side of the square by 2
so
20.5/2=10.25--------> 10 barriers
the dimensions are 10 barriers x 10 barriers
10 barriers=10*2---> 20 m
the area enclosed with barriers is =20*20----> 400 m²
400 m² < 420.25 m²
so
the answer Part 2) is
<span>the area enclosed by the barriers is less than the area enclosed by the rope
</span>
Part 3)<span>How much more area can be enclosed if the rope is used instead of the barriers
</span>
area using the rope=420.25 m²
area using the barriers=400 m²
420.25-400=20.25 m²
the answer part 3) is
20.25 m²
