A rectangular plot of farmland will be bounded on one side by a river and on the other three sides by a​ single-strand electric
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The largest area is 125000 m²

The dimensions of the farmland are 250 m and 500 m

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets pick the information from the problem

- The farmland is shaped a rectangle

- The farmland will be bounded on one side by a river

- The other three sides are bounded by a​ single-strand electric fence

- The length of wire is 1000 m

- Lets consider the width of the rectangle is x and the length is y

- The side which will be bounded by the river is y

∴ The perimeter of the farmland which will be bounded by the electric

  fence = x + x + y  = 2x + y

- We will use the wire to fence the farmland

∵ The length of the wire is 1000 m

∵ The perimeter of the farmland is equal to the length of the wire

∴ 2x + y = 1000

- Lets find y in term of x

∵ 2x + y = 1000 ⇒ subtract 2x from both sides

∴ y = 1000 - 2x

- Now lets find the area can enclose by the wire

∵ The area of the rectangle = length × width

∵ The width of the farmland is x and its length is y

∴ The area of the farmland (A) = x × y = xy ⇒ (2)

- Use equation (1) to substitute the value of y in equation (2)

∴ A = x (1000 - 2x) ⇒ simplify

∴ A = 1000 x - 2 x²

- To find the maximum area we will differentiate A with respect to x

  and equate the answer by zero to find the value of x which will make

  the enclosed area largest

* Lets revise the rule of differentiation

- If y = ax^n, then dy/dx = a(n) x^(n-1)

- If y = ax, then dy/dx = a

- If y = a, then dy/dx = 0 , where a is a constant

∵ A = 1000 x - 2 x² ⇒ (3)

- Differentiate A with respect to x using the rules above

∴ dA/dx = 1000 - 2(2) x^(2-1)

∴ dA/dx = 1000 - 4x

- Put dA/dx = 0 to find the value of x

∵ 1000 - 4x = 0 ⇒ add 4x to both sides

∴ 1000 = 4x ⇒ divide both sides by 4

∴ 250 = x

∴ The value of x is 250

- Lets substitute this value in equation 3 to find the largest area

∵ A = 1000 x - 2 x²

∴ A = 1000 (250) - 2(250)² = 125000 m²

* The largest area is 125000 m²

∵ The width of the farmland is x

∵ x = 250

∴ The width of the farmland = 250 m

- Substitute the value of x in the equation (1) to find y

∵ y = 1000 - 2x

∵ x = 250

∴ y = 1000 - 2(250) = 1000 - 500 = 500

∵ The length of the farm lend is y

∴ The length of the farm land = 500 m

* The dimensions of the farmland are 250 m and 500 m

Rafeeq bought a field in the form of a quadrilateral (ABCD)whose sides taken in order are respectively equal to 192m, 576m,228m,
Valentin [98]

Answer:

a. 85974 m²

b. 17,194,800 AED

c. 18,450 AED

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of the quadrilateral are given as follows;

AB = 192 m

BC = 576 m

CD = 228 m

DA = 480 m

Length of a diagonal AC = 672 m

a. We note that the area of the quadrilateral consists of the area of the two triangles (ΔABC and ΔACD) formed on opposite sides of the diagonal

The semi-perimeter, s₁,  of ΔABC is found as follows;

s₁ = (AB + BC + AC)/2 = (192 + 576 + 672)/2 = 1440/2 = 720

The area, A₁, of ΔABC is given as follows;

Area\, of \, \Delta ABC = \sqrt{s_1\cdot (s_1 - AB)\cdot (s_1-BC)\cdot (s_1 - AC)}

Area\, of \, \Delta ABC = \sqrt{720 \times (720 - 192)\times  (720-576)\times  (720 - 672)}

Area\, of \, \Delta ABC = \sqrt{720 \times 528 \times  144 \times  48} = 6912·√(55) m²

Similarly, area, A₂, of ΔACD is given as follows;

Area\, of \, \Delta ACD= \sqrt{s_2\cdot (s_2 - AC)\cdot (s_2-CD)\cdot (s_2 - DA)}

The semi-perimeter, s₂,  of ΔABC is found as follows;

s₂ = (AC + CD + D)/2 = (672 + 228 + 480)/2 = 690 m

We therefore have;

Area\, of \, \Delta ACD = \sqrt{690 \times (690 - 672)\times  (690 -228)\times  (690 - 480)}

Area\, of \, \Delta ACD = \sqrt{690 \times 18\times  462\times  210} = \sqrt{1204988400} = 1260\cdot \sqrt{759} \ m^2

Therefore, the area of the quadrilateral ABCD = A₁ + A₂ = 6912×√(55) + 1260·√(759) = 85973.71 m² ≈ 85974 m² to the nearest meter square

b. Whereby the cost of 1 meter square land = 200 AED, we have;

Total cost of the land = 200 × 85974 = 17,194,800 AED

c. Whereby the cost of fencing 1 m = 12.50 AED, we have;

Total perimeter of the land = 576 + 192 + 480 + 228 = 1,476 m

The total cost of the fencing the land = 12.5 × 1476 = 18,450 AED

What symbols would you use to label a line segment differently from a line?
Lapatulllka [165]
A line segment is composed of two fixed endpoints while a  line is indifinetly composed of endless points with no ends. The symbol used to differentiate the two is the symbol that is above the letters forming the line segment or line.A line has an arrow in both ends while a line segment has a symbol of a bar only above the letters
