Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the owner of a motel has 2900 m of fencing and wants to enclose a rectangular plot of land that borders a straight highway.

Fencing is used for 2times length and 1 width if highway side is taken as width

So we have 2l+w = 2900

Or w = 2900-2l

Area of the rectangular region = lw

A(l) = l(2900-2l) = 2900l-2l^2\\

Use derivative test to find the maximum

A'(l) = 2900-4l\\A"(l) = -4

So maximum when I derivative =0

i.e when l =\frac{2900}{4} =725

Largest area = A(725)

= 725(2900-2*725)\\= 1051250

1051250 sqm is area maximum

If RS = 17, ST = x + 6, and RT = 3x - 5, What is ST.
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

ST = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Line segment RS and segment ST must add up to line segment RT

Step 1: Define

RS = 17

ST = x + 6

RT = 3x - 5

Step 2: Set up equation

mRS + mST = mRT

17 + x + 6 = 3x - 5

Step 3: Solve for <em>x</em>

x + 23 = 3x - 5

23 = 2x - 5

28 = 2x

x = 14

Step 3: Find mST

ST = x + 6

ST = 14 + 6

ST = 20
