The shortest side is 130 feet, the longest side is 260 feet and the greatest possible area is 33800 square feet
<h3>What dimensions would guarantee that the garden has the greatest possible area?</h3>
The given parameter is
Perimeter, P = 520 feet
Represent the shorter side with x and the longer side with y
One side of the garden is bordered by a river:
So the perimeter is:
P = 2x + y
Substitute P = 520
2x + y = 520
Make y the subject
y = 520 - 2x
The area is
A = xy
Substitute y = 520 - 2x in A = xy
A = x(520 - 2x)
Expand
A = 520x - 2x^2
Differentiate
A' = 520 - 4x
Set to 0
520 - 4x = 0
Rewrite as:
4x= 520
Divide by 4
x= 130
Substitute x= 130 in y = 520 - 2x
y = 520 - 2 *130
Evaluate
y = 260
The area is then calculated as:
A = xy
This gives
A = 130 * 260
Evaluate
A = 33800
Hence, the shortest side is 130 feet, the longest side is 260 feet and the greatest possible area is 33800 square feet

I believe A is the answer!
Fine the area of the circle:
Area of a circle = pi x r ^2
Area of the circle = 3.14 x 4^2 = 50.24 square cm
Find the area of the triangle:
Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height
Area =1/2 x 8 x 4 = 16 square cm
Find the area of the white part by subtracting the area of the triangle from the circle:
50.24 - 16 = 34.24 square cm.
The probability of landing in white is the area of white/ area of circle:
34.24/50.24 = 0.682
Multiply by 100 to get percent:
0.682 x 100 = 68.2%
The answer is 91 ............
