Answer:

1.) Therefore the side parallel to the building is 100 feet.

2.) The side perpendicular to the building is 200 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The parking lot, which is rectangular,  is built along the side of one of its buildings.

The side of the parking lot which is alongside the building needs no fence,

let us say that this side is of length y.

Let the perpendicular to the building be of length x.

The perimeter of the parking lot that actually needs to be fenced  = 2x + y

The amount of fencing available  = 400 feet.

Therefore 2x + y = 400    ....    (i)

Therefore y = 400 - 2x     ....    (ii)

The area of the parking lot, A = xy   =   x ( 400 - 2x)  =   400x - 2x^2   ....   (iii)

Therefore \frac{dA}{dx}  = \frac{d(400x - 2x^2}{dx}  = 400 - 4x     ....   (iv)

Also we get \frac{d^2A}{dx^2}  = -4     ....    (v)

Hence we will get the maximum value of the parking lot by equating the first order differential of area, A to zero as the second order differential of area, A is negative.

Therefore from (iv) we get 400 - 4x  = 0     ∴ x = 100 feet

y  = 400 - 2x = 400 - 200 = 200 feet.

1.) Therefore the side parallel to the building is 100 feet.

2.) The side perpendicular to the building is 200 feet.

Gabrielle and Rob each earn $22 an hour, and each works 40 hours this week. Rob spends 1/2 of his earnings this week on bills an
Zielflug [23.3K]

The amount spent is an illustration of subtraction and proportions

The amount left in his earnings is $414.25

<h3>How to determine the amount left in his earnings?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Rate = $22 per hour

Time = 40 hours

So, the total earnings is:

Total = $22 * 40

Evaluate

Total = $880

He spent half on bills.

So, we have:

Bills = 0.5 * $880

Bills = $440

He buys a video game for $25.75

So, the amount left is

Amount left = $880 - $440 - $25.75

Amount left = $414.25

Hence, the amount left in his earnings is $414.25

Lynna [10]

Answer:

x = 3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5 = x/6

multiply both sides by 6

18/5 = x

as a decimal

x = 3.6
