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

tatiyna
This can solved using the cosine law which is:
c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos θ
Using the values given from the problem
6² = b² + b² - 2bb cos 112.62
And solving for b
36 = 2b² - 2b² cos 112.62
b = 3.6

The answer is the 3rd option.
