Answer:

  • 160 ft (out from the river)
  • 320 ft (parallel to the river)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of fence parallel to the river. Then the dimension of perpendicular to the river will be half the remaining fence: (640-x)/2. The total area will be ...

  A = x(640-x)/2

This is the equation of a parabola that opens downward. It has zeros at x=0 and x=640, so its axis of symmetry is x = (0+640)/2 = 320. That is, the peak of the area curve is found when x=320.

The dimensions of the garden with the largest area are 160 ft wide by 320 ft long, where the long side is the river side.

Jake ate 1/6 of the cookies at the party if he ate 5 cookies how many cookies were there in all
egoroff_w [7]

If Jake ate 1/6 of the cookies at the party and we know he ate 5 cookies. We must find out how many cookies there are in all.

\frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{x}

Now x here represents how many total cookies are at the party.

We have to simply find out what 1 was multiplied by to get 5.

We can do this by dividing.

5 ÷ 1 = 5

So the numerators (the top numbers) were multiplied by 5. We can do the same to the denominators (the bottom numbers) to get the total number of cookies.

Lets multiply.

6 x 5 = 30

So the total number of cookies is 30


Good Luck! <3

three line segments have measures of 4 units, 6 units, and 8 units. Will the segments form a triangle?
Oliga [24]

Given:

Three line segments have measures of 4 units, 6 units, and 8 units.

To find:

Will the segments form a triangle?

Solution:

We know that three line segments can form a triangle if the sum of two smaller sides is greater than the largest side.

Three line segments have measures of 4 units, 6 units, and 8 units. Here, the measure of the largest sides is 8 units.

The sum of two smaller sides is

4+6=10

4+6>8

Since the sum of two smaller sides is greater than the largest side, therefore the segments will form a triangle.
