Answer:

100m by 50m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the dimension of the rectangular pen be x and y

Area, A(x,y)=xy

Let the side opposite her barn = x

Since she wants to fence only three side

Perimeter = x+2y

Length of Fencing Available = 200m

Therefore: x+2y=200 \implies x=200-2y

We want to maximize the area of the pen, A(x,y).

Substituting x=200-2y into A(x,y)=xy

A(y)=y(200-2y)\\A(y)=200y-2y^2

To maximize A(y), we find its derivative and solve for the critical points.

A'(y)=200-4y\\$Setting $A'(y)=0\\200-4y=0\\200=4y\\y=50

To ensure that this is a maximum, we use the second derivative test.

A''(y)=-4

This is negative and thus, y=50 is a maximum point.

Recall:

x=200-2y

x=200-2(50)

x=200-100

x=100m

Therefore, the dimensions of the pen that has the largest area are 100m by 50m.

Triangles J K L and M N R are shown.
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

JK ≅ MN

Step-by-step explanation:

SAS states that any two sides of the angle and the angle itself, if , of two triangles are equal the two triangles are equal.

It is given that  ∠J ≅ ∠M and JL ≅ MR   i.e an angle and a side are equal. We need one more side to prove that the two triangles are equal.

If we look at the diagram closely we see that the angles J and M are formed by the sides JK & JL  and MN& MR.

It is given that JL ≅ MR  so we are left with JK ≅ MN
