let the length of each shorter side be x
length of longer side= x+14
2(x+14) + 2x = 48
2x + 28 + 2x = 48
4x + 28 = 48
4x = 48-28
4x = 20
x = 5
shorter side = 5cm
Answer: A. A=(1000-2w)*w B. 250 feet
C. 125 000 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of rectangular is A=l*w (1)
From another hand the length of the fence is 2*w+l=1000 (2)
L is not multiplied by 2, because the opposite side of the l is the barn,- we don't need in fence on that side.
Express l from (2):
l=1000-2w
Substitude l in (1) by 1000-2w
A=(1000-2w)*w (3) ( Part A. is done !)
Part B.
To find the width w (Wmax) that corresponds to max of area A we have to dind the roots of equation (1000-2w)w=0 ( we get it from (3))
w1=0 1000-2*w2=0
w2=500
Wmax= (w1+w2)/2=(0+500)/2=250 feet
The width that maximize area A is Wmax=250 feet
Part C. Using (3) and the value of Wmax=250 we can write the following:
A(Wmax)=250*(1000-2*250)=250*500=125 000 square feets
The pattern goes like this...
(1st letter from the beginning),(1st letter from the end),(2nd letter from the beginning),(2nd letter from the end), etc.
So the next letter in the pattern should be W.
