Answer:

x  =  84 ft  the largest side of the pens

y  =  56 ft the common side is that length

Step-by-step explanation:

Let call  x the total length of one side, and y the other side, and  the common side such as:

p(perimeter) = 336  = 2x + 3y           y  =  ( 336 - 2x ) / 3

And the area of the whole area

A(t)  =  x * y        A(x)  = x* (336  - 2x)/3      A(x)  = [336x  - 2x² ]/3

Taking derivatives both sides of the equation

A´(x)   =[ ( 336 -  4x )*3]/9         ⇒   A´(x)   =  0      ( 336 -  4x )*3  = 0

336 - 4x = 0

x  =  336/4

x  =  84 ft         and      y  = ( 336 - 2x ) / 3        y = ( 336 - 168)/3

y  =  56 ft

Jeremiah is working on a model bridge. He needs to create triangular components, and he plans to use toothpicks. He finds three
icang [17]

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation:

According to triangle inequality theorem which state that: the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side.

Now let's test the given parameters if they obey this theorem

4 inches, 5 inches and 1 inch

4 + 5 = 9

9 > 1 correct

5 + 1 = 6

6 > 4 correct

4 + 1 = 5

5 not > 5 wrong

Therefore he won't be able to create the triangular component with these toothpicks without modifying any of the lengths

Find the value of the variable. If your answer is not an integer, leave it in simplest radical form.
tester [92]

So this is considered a "special triangle." The 30-60-90 triangle states that if the short leg is x, then the hypotenuse is 2x and the long leg is x√3.

Since we have the short leg, to find the hypotenuse, or y in this case, multiply the short leg by 2:

17 × 2 = 34

Next, to find the long leg, or x in this case, multiply the short leg by √3:

17 × √3 = 17√3

<u>In short, x = 17√3 and y = 34. The correct option is the last option.</u>

What is the surface area of the triangular prism?<br> In square feet
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

The surface of the triangular prism is 12 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the surface area you have to multiply the base and the height and divide the product by 2

6 ft= base

4 ft= height

6 x 4 = 24

24 divided by 2 = 12

The ratio of dogs to cats at an animal shelter is 33 to 22. how many dogs are at the shelter if there is a total of 3030 animals
ss7ja [257]
I think you doubled them

ratio of dogs to cats=3:2

30 animals total

3+2=5 units
30=5unit
divide by 5
6=1unit

dogs=3 unit
6=1unit
times 3
18=3unit=dogs

18 dogs
