Answer:
- 50 ft by 75 ft
- 3750 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of the side not parallel to the partition. Then the length of the side parallel to the partition is ...
y = (300 -2x)/3
And the enclosed area is ...
A = xy = x(300 -2x)/3 = (2/3)(x)(150 -x)
This is the equation of a parabola with x-intercepts at x=0 and x=150. The line of symmetry, hence the vertex, is located halfway between these values, at x=75.
The maximum area is enclosed when the dimensions are ...
50 ft by 75 ft
That maximum area is 3750 square feet.

<em>Comment on the solution</em>
The generic solution to problems of this sort is that half the fence (cost) is used in each of the orthogonal directions. Here, half the fence is 150 ft, so the long side measures 150'/2 = 75', and the short side measures 150'/3 = 50'. This remains true regardless of the number of partitions, and regardless if part or all of one side is missing (e.g. bounded by a barn or river).
Answer:
29
Step-by-step explanation:
Use trigonometry.
sinQ = 14/50 = 0.28
-> angle Q = sin^-1(0.28) = approx 16 degrees
-> cosQ = A/H -> cos16 = PQ/50
=> PQ = 50*cos16 = approx 48.06
So yea.
Answer:
75.6 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one.
Given data
we are told that the original quantity of food is 63 ounces
and the increase is in food is by 20%
Step two:
let us find the increase in ounces
=20/100*63
=0.2*63
=12.6 ounces
Hence the amount of food in the bag now is
=12.6+63
=75.6 ounces
