<span>This is a right triangle problem. c^2 = a^2 + b^2
Let b = 7 mi (Rosa's distance from home)
Let a = the east leg (Juan's distance from home
(a+1) = c (hypotenuse, distance between them)

(a+1)^2 = a^2 + 7^2

FOIL (a+1)(a+1)
a^2 + 2a + 1 = a^2 + 49

Combine like terms
a^2 - a^2 + 2a = 49 - 1
2a = 48
a = 

<span>a = 24 mi, Juan's distance from home

Find the length and width of a rectangle that has the given perimeter and a maximum area. Perimeter: 116 meters
Naily [24]

Answer:

Length = 29 m

Width = 29 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the length and width of the rectangle, respectively.

The area and perimeter are given by:

A=xy\\p=116=2x+2y\\y=58-x

Rewriting the area as a function of x:

A(x) = x(58-x)\\A(x) = 58x-x^2

The value of x for which the derivate of the area function is zero, is the length that maximizes the area:

A(x) = 58x-x^2\\\frac{dA}{dx}=0=58-2x\\ x=29\ m

The value of y is:

y = 58-29\\y=29\ m

Length = 29 m

Width = 29 m
