Yes, Fed is correct

Explanation:

We only get 30 feet of fencing, it is already the largest possible perimeter that we can do if we use all of the fencing.

Answer:

a=35x−x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Having  

70 ft of fencing with a  

width of x

feet and knowing the perimeter of a rectangle is  

p=2w+2l

we can state the length of the garden as:

70=2x+2l

and solving for  l

we know the length with be:

2l=70−2x or l=35−x  

And then knowing the formula for the area of a rectangle is  

a=w⋅l

we can write the equation as:

a=x⋅(35−x)a=35x−x^2

When we do this, the base of the parallelogram has length b 1 + b 2, and the height is the same as the trapezoids, so the area of the parallelogram is (b 1 + b 2)*h. Since the two trapezoids of the same size created this parallelogram, the area of one of those trapezoids is one half the area of the parallelogram

Laila is 14 years older than tom. Laila is 5 years younger than Dan. Altogether they have a combined age of 51. How old are they
notka56 [123]
Laila=l
Tom=t
Dan=d

l=t+14
l=d-5
l+t+d=51

In terms of l:
d=l+5
t=l-14

So:
l+l+5+l-14=51
3l+5-14=51
3l-9=51
3l=60
l=20
d=25
t=6

Hope this helps :)
