Suppose a rectangular pasture is to be constructed using 1 2 linear mile of fencing. The pasture will have one divider parallel

to one pair of sides and two dividers parallel to the other pair of sides, so that there are six congruent enclosures. What is the maximum total area of such a pasture, in square feet?

Answer:

\displaystyle A=\frac{1}{192}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Maximization With Derivatives</u>

Given a function of one variable A(x), we can find the maximum or minimum value of A by using the derivatives criterion. If A'(x)=0, then A has a probable maximum or minimum value.

We need to find a function for the area of the pasture. Let's assume the dimensions of the pasture are x and y, and one divider goes parallel to the sides named y, and two dividers go parallel to x.

The two divisions parallel to x have lengths y, thus the fencing will take 4x. The three dividers parallel to y have lengths x, thus the fencing will take 3y.

The amount of fence needed to enclose the external and the internal divisions is

P=4x+3y

We know the total fencing is 1/2 miles long, thus

\displaystyle 4x+3y=\frac{1}{2}

Solving for x

\displaystyle x=\frac{\frac{1}{2}-3y}{4}

The total area of the pasture is

A=x.y

Substituting x

\displaystyle A=\frac{\frac{1}{2}-3y}{4}.y

\displaystyle A=\frac{\frac{1}{2}y-3y^2}{4}

Differentiating with respect to y

\displaystyle A'=\frac{\frac{1}{2}-6y}{4}

Equate to 0

\displaystyle \frac{\frac{1}{2}-6y}{4}=0

Solving for y

\displaystyle y=\frac{1}{12}

And also

\displaystyle x=\frac{\frac{1}{2}-3\cdot \frac{1}{12}}{4}=\frac{1}{16}

Compute the second derivative

\displaystyle A''=-\frac{3}{2}.

Since it's always negative, the point is a maximum

Thus, the maximum area is

\displaystyle A=\frac{1}{12}\cdot \frac{1}{16}=\frac{1}{192}

The length of the diagonal of a square is 6√2. What is the length of one side?
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question that,

length of the diagonal of a square = 6√2

As we know that a square have all lengths equal in size and lengths are perpendicular to each other so to solve this question we will use pythagorus theorem

hypotenuse² = base² + height²

here,

hypotenuse is the diagonal of the square

base and height side length of the square

Plug value in the formula

6√2² = l² + l²

36(2) = 2l²

72 = 2l²

l² = 72/2

l² = 36

take square root on both sides of the equation

l = √36

<h3>l = 6</h3>
