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

Given -3(2x+7)=-29-4x prove x=4
Doss [256]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 3(2x + 7) = - 29 - 4x ← distribute parenthesis on left side

- 6x - 21 = - 29 - 4x ( add 4x to both sides )

- 2x - 21 = - 29 ( add 21 to both sides )

- 2x = - 8 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = 4 ← as required

Eloise made a list of some multiples of 8/5 write 5 fractions that can be in Eloise list
alexgriva [62]
This question is asking for a list of fractions, that when you pull out common factors, they will all simplify back to the 8/5 fraction.

So if 2 is the common factor, you multiply the numerator and denominator by 2.

2: (8*2)/(5*2)= 16/10

3: (8*3)/5*3)= 24/15

4: (8*4)/(5*4)= 32/20

5: (8*5)/(5*5)= 40/25

10: (8*10)/5*10)= 80/50

Eloise's Potential List:
16/10, 24/15, 32/20, 40/25, 80/50

If you simplify any of these fractions above, you will get 8/5 again.

To work backwards:
80/50: 10 goes into 80, 10 goes into 50= 8/5

16/10: 2 goes into 16, 2 goes into 10= 8/5

Hope this helps! :)

Please help with this simple trig problem- angle of two sectors of a circle
igomit [66]

Answer:

  K = (1/2)r^2(sin(θ) +θ)

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the triangle to the left is ...

  A1 = (1/2)r^2·sin(180°-θ) = (1/2)r^2·sin(θ)

The area of the sector to the right is ...

  A2 = (1/2)r^2θ

so the total area of the blue shaded region is ...

  K = A1 + A2 = (1/2)r^2·sin(θ) + (1/2)r^2·θ

  K = (1/2)r^2(sin(θ) +θ)
