If you have 50 feet of fence, what shape would yield the greatest area in yards?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vesnalui [34]3 years ago

Answer:

Square

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle is

P=2(l+w)

Where l is length and w is width

Substituting 50 for P

50=2(l+w)

25=l+w

Making w the subject of formula then

w=25-l

Area is lw and substituting for w

A=l(25-l)=-l²+25l

A=-l²+25l

Getting firat derivative of A with respect to l

-2l+25=0

l=25/2=12.5 yards

Width will be 25-12.5=12.5 yards

The dimensions of length and width are same hence the shape is square

What is the primary goal and secondary goal of the Fried Liver Opening in chess? &lt;br /&gt;
polet [3.4K]

Play usually continues 7.Qf3+ Ke6 8.Nc3 (see diagram). Black will play 8...Nb4 or 8...Ne7 and follow up with c6, bolstering his pinned knight on d5. If Black plays 8...Nb4, White can force the b4 knight to abandon protection of the d5 knight with 9.a3?! Nxc2+ 10.Kd1 Nxa1 11.Nxd5, sacrificing a rook, but current analysis suggests that the alternatives 9.Qe4, 9.Bb3 and 9.O-O are stronger. White has a strong attack, but it has not been proven yet to be decisive.

Because defence is harder to play than attack in this variation when given short time limits, the Fried Liver is dangerous for Black in over-the-board play, if using a short time control. It is also especially effective against weaker players who may not be able to find the correct defences. Sometimes Black invites White to play the Fried Liver Attack in correspondence chess or in over-the-board games with longer time limits (or no time limit), as the relaxed pace affords Black a better opportunity to refute the White sacrifice.
