Answer:

The dimensions are 9m by 18 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter will be

x+y+x for the three sides  ( the wall is the fourth side)

2x+y = 36

Solving for y

y = 36-2x

The area is x*y and we want it maxed

A =x( 36-2x)

   36x-2x^2

Taking the derivative

dA /dx = 36 - 2 * 2x

Setting this equal to zero to find the max

0 = 36 - 4x

4x = 36

Divide by 4

x = 36/4

x = 9

Now find y

y = 36-2x

y = 36 - 2*9

y = 36 - 18

  = 18

The dimensions are 9m by 18 m

Roy uses 1/4 cup of batter for each muffin. Which list shows the amounts of batter he will use depending on the number of muffin
Digiron [165]
I think this is one of the reducing fractions problem:

If we look at option A.{1/4} {1/5} {1/6} {1/7} {1/8}.
Here, the reduced form of all the fractions is not equal to 1/4

If we look at option B. <span>1/4,2/4,3/4,4/4,5/4.
</span>Here, the reduced form of all the fractions is not equal to 1/4<span>

if we look at option C. </span><span>1/4,2/8,3/12,4/16,5/20. 
</span>Here, the reduced form of all the fractions is not equal to 1/4<span>

If we look at option D.</span>1/4,2/8,4/16,6/24,8/32.
Here, the reduced form of all the fractions is equal to 1/4
i.e.  
1/4 = 1/4
2/8 = 1/4
4/14 = 1/4
6/24 = 1/4
5/20 = 1/4

So, the correct answer is D.
