Answer:

390 m (perpendicular to river) x 780 m (parallel to river)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y be the length of the side parallel to the river, and let x be the length of the sides perpendicular to the river.

The total area and length of fence required are given by:

A=304,200=xy\\y=\frac{304,200}{x} \\L=2x+y

Rewriting the length of fence as a function of only x:

L=2x+\frac{304,200}{x}

The value of x for which the derivate of L(x) is zero is the length of x that uses the least amount of fencing:

L=2x+\frac{304,200}{x}\\\frac{dL}{dx}=2- \frac{304,200}{x^2}=0\\x^2=152,100\\x=390

If x = 390 m, then:

y=\frac{304,200}{390}\\y=780

The dimensions that will use the least amount of fencing are 390 m x 780 m

Select Proportional or Not Proportional to correctly classify each pair of ratios.Proportional or Not Proportional 7/8 and 42/4
Yakvenalex [24]
Based on the given fractions above which are 7/8 and 42/4, in order for us to know if they are both proportional is to do the cross multiplication. Let's say, we multiply 4 by 7 and we get 28. Divide 28 by 8 and the result is 3.5 and not 42. Therefore, we can say that these fractions are NOT proportional. Hope this helps.
