Answer:

x = 600 m

y = 1200 m

Amax = 720000  m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let call x the smaller side of the rectangular plot and y the largest ( we assume we have one y side bounded by a river: Then

A(p)  Area of the plot x*y

A(p) = x*y

And perimeter of the plot ( to be fenced ) is:

P(p)  = 2*x + y = 2400     ⇒  y  = 2400 - 2*x

Area of rectangular plot as function of x:

A(x) = x * ( 2400 - 2x )

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation

A´(x) = ( 2400 - 2x ) + (-2) *x    ⇒  A´(x) = ( 2400 - 2x ) - 2x

A´(x) = 0      ⇒   2400 - 4x = 0    ⇒  4x  = 2400  

x = 600 m

And y =  2400 - 2*x

y = 2400 - 1200

y = 1200 m

And the largest enclosed area is  Amax = 1200*600

Amax = 720000 m²

There are 215 total students in the band.

There are 27 seniors in the band.

The probability is found by dividing the number of seniors in the band by the TOTAL number of students in the band.

P(S|B) = 27/215 = 0.1255813953

You have to round off the answer too the nearest tenth.
