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

Logan and his brother plan to make spherical glass ornaments to decorate their living room. Logan decides to completely fill the
mixer [17]
For this case the first thing you should do is find the volume of the sphere.
 We have then:
 V = (4/3) * (pi) * (r ^ 3)
 Where,
 r: sphere's radius
 Substituting values we have:
 V = (4/3) * (3.14) * ((3/2) ^ 3)
 V = 14.13 in ^ 3
 Answer:
 
The amount of glitter required to completely fill one glass ornament is:
 
V = 14.13 in ^ 3

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

58.4/9.6 can be rewritten as 58/10=5.8, so the decimal point will go between the first and second digits. Therefore, 58.4/9.6=6.083
