Answer 1

Answer:

a). A = -2x² + 200x

b). Widths = 40 feet and 60 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that length of the fencing material = 200 feet

a). Peg wants to cover the vegetable garden from three sides with the given fencing material.

If length of the garden = l

and width of the garden = x

l + x + x = 200

l + 2x = 200

l = (200 - 2x) feet

Therefore, area of the garden = Length × width

A = $(200-2x)\times x$

A = -2x² + 200x

b). Foe A = 4800 square feet,

4800 = -2x² + 200x

2x² - 200x + 4800 = 0

x² - 100x + 2400 = 0

x² - 60x - 40x + 2400 = 0

x(x - 60) - 40(x - 60) = 0

(x - 60)(x - 40) = 0

x = 40, 60 feet

Therefore, widths of Peg's garden will be 40 feet and 60 feet.
