Answer:

The largest possible area of the deck is 87.11 m² with dimensions;

Width = 9.33 m

Breadth = 9.33 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a given dimension increases as the dimension covers more equidistant dimension from the center, which gives the quadrilateral with largest dimension being that of a square

Given that the railings will be placed on three sides only and the third side will cornered or left open, such that the given length of railing can be shared into three rather than four to increase the area

The length of the given railing = 28 m

The sides of the formed square area by sharing the railing into three while the fourth side is left open are then equal to 28/3 each

The area of a square of side s = s²

The largest possible area of the deck = (28/3)² = 784/9 = 87.11 m² with dimensions;

Width = 28/3 m = 9.33 m

Breadth = 28/3 m = 9.33 m.

ICE Princess25 [194]
If you would like to know how many pages can Henry write in 8 hours, you can calculate this using the following steps:

5 1/4 = 21/4 pages ... 3 hours
x pages = ? ... 8 hours

21/4 * 8 = 3 * x
21 * 2 = 3 * x
3 * x = 42
x = 42 / 3
x = 14 pages

Henry can write 14 pages of his novel in 8 hours.
