Answer:

21 ft by 28 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To maximize the area, see the attached.

Perimeter will be 4l+3w which is equal to the fencing perimeter, given as 168

4l+3w=168

Making l the subject then

4l=168-3w

l=42-¾w

Area of individual land will be lw and substituting l with l=42-¾w

Then

A=lw=(42-¾w)w=42w-¾w²

A=42w-¾w²

Getting the first derivative of the above with respect to w rhen

42-w6/4=0

w6/4=42

w=42*4/6=28

Since

l=42-¾w=42-¾(28)=21

Therefore, maximum dimensions are 21 for l and 28 for w

devlian [24]
<span>Let the height of tree be denoted as AB and the shadow cast by the tree be BE. ABE is the triangle formed the tree, rays and the ground. Let the height of the person be CD and the length of his shadow be DE. CDE is the triangle formed by the person, rays and the ground. We have two triangles. Both the person and the tree stand vertically over the horizontal ground, therefore they make 90 degrees with the ground. The angle formed at the ground is the same for the both the triangles. Therefore, by AA similarity the two triangles are similar. We know that if two triangles are similar, then their sides are proportional. Therefore, AB/CD =BE/DE AB/6 = 143/11 AB= (143/11) *6 AB = 78 ft.</span>
