A rancher with 750 ft of fencing wants to enclose a rectangular area and then divide it into four pens with fencing parallel to

one side of the rectangle.
1] Find a function that models the total area of the four pens. (Let w be the width of the rectangular area and A(w) be the area.)

2]Find the largest possible total area of the four pens. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

2 W + 5 L = 750 ft
5 L = 750 - 2 W
L = 150 - 2 W / 5
A ( W ) = W * ( 150 - 2 W / 5 )
A function that models the total area:
A ( W ) = 150 W - 2 W² / 5
A` ( W ) = 150 - 4 W / 5
150 - 4 W / 5 = 0
4 W / 5 = 150
W = 187.5 ft
The largest possible area:
A = 150 * 187.5 - (2 * 187.5² ) / 5 = 28,125 - 14,062.5 = 14,062.5 ft²

What is the area of the composite figure
lara [203]

Answer:

Area of composite figure = 216 cm²

Hence, option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The composite figure consists of two figures.

1) Rectangle

2) Right-angled Triangle

We need to determine the area of the composite figure, so we need to find the area of an individual figure.

Determining the area of the rectangle:

Given

Length l = 14 cm

Width w = 12 cm

Using the formula to determine the area of the rectangle:

A = wl

substituting  l = 14 and w = 12

A = (12)(14)

A = 168 cm²

Determining the area of the right-triangle:

Given

Base b = 8 cm

Height h = 12 cm

Using the formula to determine the area of the right-triangle:

A = 1/2 × b × h

A = 1/2 × 8 × 12

A = 4 × 12

A = 48 cm²

Thus, the area of the figure is:

Area of composite figure = Rectangle Area +  Right-triangle Area

                                            = 168 cm² +  48 cm²

                                            = 216 cm²

Therefore,

Area of composite figure = 216 cm²

Hence, option A is correct.

A King in ancient times agreed to reward the inventor of chess with one grain of wheat on the first of the 64 squares of a chess
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Total weight of the wheat placed on 45th square will be = 1.26\times 10^{6}tons

Step-by-step explanation:

King rewarded the inventor of chess by giving grain of wheat on every square of the chess board. He places one  grain of wheat on first square, 2 on second, 4 on 3rd, 8 on 4th and so on.

In fact he places grains of wheat in a progression S = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16.........n terms where value of n is 64.

We can rewrite the progression as S = 2°, 2, 2², 2³,.........n terms (n = 64)

In a geometric progression we know the nth term = a(r^{n-1})

where a = first term of the series, r = common ratio, n = number of terms

Now we have to calculate the weight of all wheat placed on 45th square.

So we will put the values in the given formula 45th term =

1\times (2^{45-1}) = 2^{44}=1.76\times 10^{13}

Then the weight of wheat will be = 2.51\times 10^{9}pounds=1.26\times 10^{6}tons

Simplify the following expression.
34kurt

Answer:

A. 33x + 92y

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the problem like this and combine like terms:

    40x + 58y

   - 7x  + 34y

--------------------

    33x + 92y

Or, set up the problem like this and combine like terms:

(40x + 58y) + (-7x + 34y)

40x + 58y - 7x + 34y

40x - 7x + 58y + 34y

33x + 92y

You should get the same answer with either method.
