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

What is a simpler form of the following expressions?
nadezda [96]

Answer:

D. 49p² - 64

Step-by-step explanation:

(7p - 8)(7p + 8)

Solving this requires the 'difference of squares' concept which states;

If (a - b)(a + b)

Then the solution must be a² - b²

Considering (7p - 8)(7p + 8) then the answer is;

(7p)² - 8² = 49p² - 64

Layers of rock wear off during which of the following processes?
Maru [420]

Answer:

Exfoliation

Step-by-step explanation:

Changes in temperature cause rock to expand (with heat) and contract (with cold). As this happens over and over again, the structure of the rock weakens. Over time, it crumbles.

Rocky desert landscapes are particularly vulnerable to thermal stress. The outer layer of desert rocks undergo repeated stress as the temperature changes from day to night. Eventually, outer layers flake off in thin sheets, a process called exfoliation.
