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

Mathematics

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

Graph the line with slope 1/4 and y-intercept -8
kherson [118]

Solution: Below! ^^

Detailed explanation:

Hii! I'm sorry, I can't graph the line for you, but I'll try to give you the best possible explanation.

First, note that the question provides us with the info that the y intercept is -8. This is a very valuable piece of information!

This means that the line crosses the y axis (since it's the y intercept) at the point (0,-8). Plot it on the co-ordinate plane.

Next, this question also provides us with the fact that the slope of the line is 1/4. This is yet another valuable piece of information!

What this tells us is: from that point (0,-8), you need to go up 1 unit, then over 4, and so forth, until you obtain a line.

Hope I helped, best wishes & happy studies!

Please reach out to me if any queries arise.
