Let each side perpendicular to the river be "x".Then the side parallel to the river is "400-2x".
The formula for Area = width*length
A(x) = x(400-2x)
A(x) = 400x - 2x^2
You have a quadratic with a = -2 and b = 400
Maximum Area occurs where x = -b/2a = -400/(2*-2) = 100 ft. (width)
length = 400-2x = 400-2*100 = 200 ft (length)
Answer:
233.53 s
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of best times for the legs is ...
56.81 +59.22 +57.39 +60.11 = 233.53 . . . seconds
Without additional information about the effects of training or the normal variation in times, this is the best prediction we can make.
It should take 1.75 minutes to run it 1.5 times
that is 1 and 3/4 minutes
Answer:
She would have scored 75 points.
Step-by-step explanation:
Points scored in a basketball game vary directly with shots taken.
This means that this question can be solved by proportions, using a rule of three.
How many would she have scored if she takes 60 shots?
Using a rule of three:
50 points - 40 shots
x points - 60 shots
Applying cross multiplication:
Dividing both sides by 40
She would have scored 75 points.
