Well, we can denote L and W for the length and width respectively. Lets say the A is the area, we have: 1. A=(L × W) as well as 2. 2(L+W)=400. We rearrange the second equation to get 3. W=200-L. From this, we can see that 0<L<200. Substitute the third equation into the first to get A=(200L-L²). put this formula into the scientific calculator and you will find a parabola with a maximum. That would be the maximum area of the enclosed area. Alternatively, we can say that L is between 0 and 200 when the area equals 0. (The graph you find will be  area against length). As the maximum is generally found halfway, we substitute 100 into the equation and we end up with 10000.

Hope this helps.

4 • (6 – 4) 2 ÷ 2
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Cary is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

4* (6-4)= 4* 2=8

I think it is saying (8*2) divided by to, which in that case is 8,

but if it is asking 8 (2/2) then that would also be 8 I believe. I really hope this is correct and you have a great day :)

aivan3 [116]
It should be B or D. B because in 2 hours you make $10.50 and then add 15 minutes and you get B. It could also be D because that's doing $5.25 an hour which is true it's just deleting the extra 45 minutes so it can be either B or D.

What do you know to be true about the values of p and q?
artcher [175]

Answer:

p = q

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles in a triangle add up to 180°

For the left triangle:

180 = p + 20 + 80

p = 80

For the right triangle:

180 = q + 45 + 55

q = 80

Therefore, p = q
