If the farmer has 250 feet of fencing to create a rectangular pen, define a function f that expresses the area of the field (mea

sured in square feet) as a function of the width of the side of the field w (measured in feet). What is the maximum area possible?

Answer:

Maximum area possible

f(max)  = 3906,25 ft²

Dimensions:

a  = 62,5  ft

w  = 62,5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the rectangular fencing    P  =  250 feet

And sides of the rectangle  a  and  w (width of rectangle)

Then

A =  a*w

2a  + 2w  = 250       ⇒  a  =  (250 -2w)/ 2    ⇒  a = 125 - w

f(w)  =  (125  - w ) *w        f(w)  = 125w - w²  

Taking derivatives both sides of the equation

f´(w)   =  125  - 2w              f´(w)   = 0           125  - 2w = 0

w = 125/2

w = 62,5 ft            ⇒  a = 125 - 62,5

a = 62,5 ft

f(max)  = ( 62,5)²

f(max)  = 3906,25 ft²

Point A is the midpoint of side XZ and point B is the
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Option (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given question is incomplete; here is the complete question.

Point A is the midpoint of side XZ and point B is the  midpoint of side YZ.

Triangle XYZ is cut by line segment AB. Point A is the midpoint of side XZ and point B is the midpoint of side YZ. The length of XY is (5x - 7), the length of AB is (x + 1), and the lengths of XA and ZA are (2x - 2). The lengths of YB and BZ are congruent.

What is AX ?

2 units

4 units

6 units

8 units

From the figure attached,

XYZ is a triangle having A and B as the midpoints of the sides XZ and YZ.

By the theorem of midpoints,

AB = \frac{1}{2}\text{(XY)}

Since AB = (x + 1) and XY = (5x - 7)

(x + 1) = \frac{1}{2}(5x-7)

2x + 2 = 5x - 7

5x - 2x = 2 + 7

3x = 9

x = 3

Therefore, side AB = 3 + 1 = 4 units

Side XY = (5x - 7)

             = 15 - 7

             = 8 units

Side XA = 2(x - 1)

              = 4 units

Therefore, Option (2) will be the answer.

Use the given scale factor in the side length of the scale drawing to determine the side links of the real object
ozzi

Answer:

A. side a is 7 inches long, side b is 6 inches long,and side c is 3 inches long

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question. Please find attached a diagram showing the scaled and real drawing

Use the given scale factor and the side lengths of the scale drawing to determine the side lengths of the real object

A. side a is 7 inches long, side b is 6 inches long,and side c is 3 inches long

B. side a is 30 inches long, side b is 25 inches long, and side c is 20 inches long

C. side a is 40 inches long, side b is 35 inches long,and side c is 20 inches long

D. side a is 175 inches long,side b is 150 inches long, and side c is inches long

A scale drawing is a reduced form in terms of dimensions of an original image / building / object

the scale drawing is usually reduced at a constant dimension

scale of the drawing = original dimensions / dimensions of the scale drawing

The scaled drawing is an enlarged image of the original triangle.

It is enlarged at a ratio of 5:1

original dimensions

a = 35/5 = 7

b = 30 / 5 = 6

c = 15/5 = 3
