Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the fence = x

Let the width of the fence = y

 Recall that the perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by 2(L+B) , but the farmer is using the side of the barn on one side of the rectangle , so the perimeter equation is  

x + 2y = 48

 Area = xy

 If we substitute the perimeter equation so that the area is only in terms of y.

 

Area = (48 - 2y)y

Area = 48y - 2y^{2}

 Now just find the vertex of the parabola

 Area = -2 y^{2}+ 48y

A = -2 y^{2} + 48

Differentiate A with respect to y

\frac{dA}{dy} = -4y + 48

equate it to zero , we have

-4y + 48 = 0

4y = 48

y = 12

Substitute y = 12 into equation 1, we have

x = 48 - 2y

x = 48 - 2(12)

x = 48 - 24

x = 24

Therefore the dimensions of the garden are 24 by 12

The maximum area is 288 square unit

EMERGENCY QUESTION! No Decimal answers plz!
telo118 [61]

Answer:

1,145,375 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Like with an earlier question you had, there is a chunk missing. If that chunk was filled in, this would be a 205 * 70 * 85 rectangular prism.

205 * 70 * 85

17,425 * 70

1,219,750

The cut out chunk is a 25 * 70 * 85 triangular prism.

1/2 (25 * 70 * 85)

1/2(2,125 * 70)

1/2(148,750)

74,375

Now that we know what the cut-out chunk is, subtract that from the first value we got.

1,219,750 -74,375

1,145,375 cm³

The volume of the Canadian Post mailbox is 1,145,375 cm³.

If a 4 x 16 rectangle has the same area as a square, what is the length of a side of the square?
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Option D. 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the area of rectangle

The area of rectangle is

A=(4)(16)=64\ units^2

step 2

Find the length side of the square with the same area of rectangle

The area of a square is

A=b^2

where

b is the length side of the square

we have

A=64\ units^2

substitute

64=b^2

take the square root both sides

b=8\ units

therefore

The length side of the square is 8 units
