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

Angle RST is a right angle. Angle RSU has a measure of 25°.
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Keywords

complementary angles, right angle

we know that

If two angles are <u>complementary angles</u>, then their sum is equal to a <u>right angle</u>

In this problem

Angle\ RSU+Angle\ TSU=90\° -------> by <u>complementary angles</u>

we have

Angle\ RSU=25\°

Substitute and solve for Angle TSU

Angle\ TSU=90\°-25\°=65\°

therefore

the answer is the option

65\°

Lines a and b are parallel.
VashaNatasha [74]
I have added a screenshot with the complete question along with a diagram representing the scenario.

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
s = 22°

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>1- getting the top right angle of line B:</u>
We are given that:
the top right angle of line A = 158°
Since lines A and B are parallel, therefore, the top right angle of line A and the top right angle of line B are corresponding angles which means that they are equal
This means that:
<u>Top right angle of line B = 158°</u>

<u>2- getting the value of s:</u>
Now, taking a look at line B, we can note that:
angle s and the top right angle form a straight angle. This means that the sum of these two angles is 180°
Therefore:
180 = s + 158
s = 180 - 158
<u>s = 22°</u>

Hope this helps :)

Tom is the deli manager at a grocery store. He needs to schedule employees to staff the deli department at least 260 person-hour
marissa [1.9K]
If you would like to find the inequality to determine the number of full-time employees Tom must schedule, you can calculate this using the following steps:

n ... the number of full-time employees

260 <= 20 + n * 40
260 - 20 <= n * 40
240 <= n * 40
n >= 240/40
n >= 6 full-time employees

The correct result would be at least 6 full-time employees.
