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.

In quadrilateral ABCD, AD is congruent to BC, and AD is parallel to BC. Andre has written a
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

AD is Congruent to BC and it's given, (given just means that it was already said or stated, and you don't need to do the work to find it) Angle DAC would be congruent to angle BAC (if that doesn't work, rearrange them to look like angle CAB). AC would be congruent to DB. Triangle ADC would be congruent to triangle BCD by (since i don't know exactly which way the letters are arranged is would either be SAS or SSA) and that's because you know two of the sides are congruent to each other and one angle.

I tried hard to sketch out what the shape looked like based on the information given, and that's because I need a visual of what the shape looks like. Sorry, this took so long to answer.

A set of silverware contains 30 pieces. The set contains only spoons, forks, and knives. It contains the same number of spoons a
Tema [17]
Let the number of knife be x.
Knife = x
Spoon = 2x
forks = 2x

Total = 30
x + 2x + 2x = 30
5x = 30 
x = 6

Knife = x = 6
forks = 2x = 12
Spoon = 2x = 12

Answer: There are 12 forks.

Find the major axis for the ellipse <br> x² + 16y2-96y + 128 = 0
Softa [21]

The major axis for the ellipse, x² + 16y² - 96y + 128 = 0 is the x-axis

To answer the question, we need to write it in the standard form of the equation of an ellipse

<h3>Equation of an ellipse</h3>

The equation of an ellipse centered at  (h,k) is

(x - h)²/a² + (y - k)²/b² (1) where a > b and the major axis is parallel to the x axis

Given x² + 16y² - 96y + 128 = 0, we convert it into the standard equation of an ellipse.

So, x² + 16y² - 96y + 128 = 0

Dividing through by 16, we have

x²/16 + 16y²/16  - 96y/16 + 128/16 = 0/16

x²/16 + y² - 6y + 8 = 0

Completing the square in y by adding and subtracting (-6/2)² = (-3)²

x²/16 + y² - 6y + (-3)² - (-3)² + 8 = 0

x²/16 + (y - 3)² - 9 + 8 = 0

x²/16 + (y - 3)² - 1 = 0

x²/16 + (y - 3)² = 1

x²/4² + (y - 3)²/1² = 1  (2)

Comparing equations (1) and (2), we have that a = 4 and b = 1.

Since a = 4 > b = 1, the major axis for the ellipse is the x-axis

So, the major axis for the ellipse, x² + 16y² - 96y + 128 = 0 is the x-axis
