Answer:

Maximum possible area of the corral will be 42050 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Monique wants to enclose a rectangular area, using creek on one side and other three sides by the fence.

Let the length of one side of the rectangular area is 'x' feet and other side is 'y'.

Length of the fencing has been given as 580 feet.

Therefore, (2x + y) = 580

2x + y = 580

y = (580 - 2x)-------(1)

Area of the rectangular area = length × width

A = xy

Now we replace the value of y in the area

A = x(580 - 2x)

   = 580x - 2x²

For the maximum area of the corral, we will find the derivative of the area A with respect to x and equate it to zero.

\frac{dA}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}(580x-2x^{2}) = 0

580 - 4x = 0

4x = 580

x=\frac{580}{4}

x = 145 feet

From equation (1)

y = (580 - 2×145)

  = 580 - 290

  = 290 feet

Maximum area covered of the corral = xy

= 145×290

= 42050 square feet

Therefore, maximum possible area of the corral will be 42050 square feet.

So long as the perimeters are the same, rectangles and squares share the same area. For example, a square that is 2m by 2m across is 4m squared. A rectangle of 4m by 1m across is still 4m squared.

Therefore all we want to do here is see how big we can make our “square” perimeter using the creek. We have three sides to spread 580ft across, therefore if we divide this by 3, we get 193.3ft of fencing per side. If we then square this figure, we will then get the maximum possible area, which comes to 37,377ft squared. (That’s a huge garden).

In a deck of playing cards, what is the
ICE Princess25 [194]

Step-by-step explanation:

As the cards are being drawn with replacement, the events are independent. Thus we can find the probability by multiplying the probability of individual events.

There are 4 queens in a pack of 52 cards. So, probability of drawing a queen= 4/52=1/13

There are 26 red cards. So, probability of drawing a red card= 26/52=12

Required probability= 1/13×1/2=1/26
