Material=wall+2*side and material is 40 ft so:
40=w+2s
w=40-2s
Area=ws, using w from above we get:
A=(40-2s)s
A=40s-2s^2
dA/ds=40-4s and d2A/ds2=-4
Since d2A/ds2 is a constant negative acceleration, when dA/ds=0, A(s) is at an absolute maximum.
dA/ds=0 when 4s=40, s=10 ft
And since w=40-2s, w=20 ft
So the dimensions of the pen are 20 ft by 10 ft, with the 20 ft side being opposite the wall. And the maximum possible area is thus 200 ft^2
Answer:
3 x 3 =9
Step-by-step explanation:
9
The Pythagorean Theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the sides and c is the hypotenuse.
From the picture you have a = 10 and c = 15.
Now you have:
10^2 + b^2 = 15^2
Simplify:
100 + b^2 = 225
Subtract 100 from both sides:
b^2 = 125
Take the square root of both sides:
b = √125
b = 11.2
Your answer is 18 y=29/5x=18
