Answer:

The maximum area is 800 ft².

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call L the length of the side parallel to the garage and M the length of the other two sides. The total amount to fence is 2M+L and the area is L*M.

Since Pat got 80ft of fence, then 2M+L = 80, hence L = 80-2M. By replacing the value of L in the formula of the area, we get that

A(M) = M*(80-2M) = -2M² + 80M

The maximum of this function can be obtaining throught derivation, but since it is a quadratic with negative main coefficient, we know that the maximum is the vertex. The x-coordinate of the vertex is '-b/2a' = -80/2*(-2) = 20. The y-coordinate (which represents the maximum area),  as a result, is A(20) = -2*20²+80*20 = 800.

800 is the maximum area that can be fenced. Note that M = 20 and L = 80-2L = 40.

Maitri and Aabhas do a work in 12 hours.
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

See below ~

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

  • Maitri and Aabhas do a work in 12 hours
  • Aabhas and Kavya do the work in 15 hours
  • Kavya and Maitri do the work in 20 hours

<u>Solving</u>

  • Take Maitri, Aabhas, and Kavya to be x, y, z respectively
  • <u>x + y = 12</u> (1)
  • <u>y + z = 15</u> (2)
  • <u>x + z = 20</u> (3)

<u>Take Equation 1 and rewrite it so that it is equal to x.</u>

  • x = 12 - y

<u>Take Equation 2 and rewrite it so that it is equal to z.</u>

  • z = 15 - y

<u>Now, substitute these values in Equation 3.</u>

  • x + z = 20
  • 12 - y + 15 - y = 20
  • -2y + 27 = 20
  • 2y = 7
  • y = 7/2 = <u>3.5 hours [Aabhas]</u>

<u></u>

<u>Substitute the value of y in Equation 1.</u>

  • x + 3.5 = 12
  • x = <u>8.5 hours [Maitri]</u>

<u>Substitute the value of y in Equation 2.</u>

  • 3.5 + z = 15
  • z = <u>11.5 hours [Kavya]</u>

<u></u>

<u>Add the values of x, y, and z together.</u>

  • x + y + z
  • 8.5 + 3.5 + 11.5
  • 12 + 11.5
  • <u>23.5 hours [together]</u>

garri49 [273]
Write a proportion first, change over original, like this:
 8      x
16   100
(I got 8 because the difference between 24 and 16 is 8 and I got 100 because percents are out of 100.)
Cross multiply 8 by 100 and you get 800.
Divide 800 by 16 and you get 50.
It changed by 50%
