Put it in Desmos and look at the graph virtually so you can have a better idea
Material=wall+2*side and material is 40 ft so:
40=w+2s
w=40-2s
Area=ws, using w from above we get:
A=(40-2s)s
A=40s-2s^2
dA/ds=40-4s and d2A/ds2=-4
Since d2A/ds2 is a constant negative acceleration, when dA/ds=0, A(s) is at an absolute maximum.
dA/ds=0 when 4s=40, s=10 ft
And since w=40-2s, w=20 ft
So the dimensions of the pen are 20 ft by 10 ft, with the 20 ft side being opposite the wall. And the maximum possible area is thus 200 ft^2
Since there's 1 hour and 14 minutes until noon, and one hour is 60 minutes, 60 + 14 = 74 minutes until noon.
The answer is 1952 because you have to add all of the numbers together
Water bill of Simons in the month of August = $48
Percentage of bill that was lower in the month of September = 15%
then
Amount of bill that was lower in the month of September = (15/100) * 48
= 720/100 dollars
= 7.2 dollars
So
The bill for the month of September = (48 - 7.2) dollars
= 40.8 dollars
So Simon will have to pay $40.8 as the water bill for the month of September. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
