The maximum area enclosed is a square, then the area will be :

side^2 = (perimeter/4)^2 = (200 feet/4)^2 =  50^2 feet^2 = 2500 feet^2.

We can prove that this is a square:

Call x one side, then the other side is: (200 -2x) / 2 = 100 - x

And the area , S = x(100-x) = 100x - x^2

Maximum area => S' = 0 = 100 -2x => 2x = 100 => x =100/2 = 50

=> 100 - x = 100 - 50 = 50.

Then, when showed that the two sides are equal to 50 feet, and the shape enclosed is a square with area = 2500 ft^2.

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

79

Step-by-step explanation:

cuz,
x equals the number of minutes so use the y slope formula

0.10(x)+the intercept = y
0.10(350)+the intercept = 84
35+the intercept = 84
the intercept = 49
so the equation is
0.10(x)+49 = y
or
1/10(x)+49 = y
1/10(300)+49=y
30+49=y
79=y
so the answer is 79 dollars

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving using empirical rule formula

95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations from the mean - between μ – 2σ and μ + 2σ .

Hence, the lower bound 95% =

μ - 2σ

Mean = 0.2

Standard deviation of 0.05

= μ - 2σ

= 0.2 - 2(0.05)

= 0.2 - 0.1

= 0.1

The lower bound is 0.1
