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

A pile of earth removed from an excavation is a cone measuring 6ft high and 30ft across its base. How many trips will it take to
nignag [31]

Answer: 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Excavation cone measures

height h=6\ ft

Diameter d=30\ ft

Truck can dump 125\ ft^3 at a time

The volume of a cone is

V=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2h

Putting values

\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{1}{3}\times \pi\times 15^2\times 6\\\Rightarrow V=1413.9\approx 1414\ ft^3

No of trips(N) required to accumulate this much volume is given by

\Rightarrow N=\dfrac{1414}{125}=13.3\approx 14

Therefore, 14 trips are necessary to accumulate a cone of volume 1414\ ft^3
