The total cost of the least expensive fence would be $800.

To minimize perimeter and maximize area we take factors that are as close to equal as possible.  In this case, the closest whole number factors are 200 and 100.  Since the north and south faces cost less, we will make those 100 ft and make the more expensive east and west faces 200 ft.

100 ft × $2/ft = $200 per side × 2 sides = $400 for the north and south facing sides.

200 ft × $1/ft = $200 per side × 2 sides = $400 for the east and west facing sides

$400 + $400 = $800

El ancho de un rectángulo es 15 pies menos que
Karolina [17]

Answer:

II. Longitud, L = 70 metros.

I. Ancho = 55 metros.

Step-by-step explanation:

Deje que la longitud del rectángulo sea L.

Deje que el ancho del rectángulo sea W.

Dados los siguientes datos;

Perímetro del rectángulo = 250 m

Traduciendo el problema verbal a una expresión algebraica, tenemos;

W = L - 15

Matemáticamente, el perímetro de un rectángulo viene dado por la fórmula;

P = 2 (largo + ancho)

250 = 2 (L + L - 15)

250 = 2 (2L - 15)

250 = 4L - 30

4L = 250 + 30

4L = 280

L = 280/4

Longitud, L = 70 m

Para encontrar el ancho;

W = L - 15

W = 70 - 15

Ancho = 55 m

David is filling a cylindrical cup with medication for his next patient. If he only fills the cup half way, what is the volume o
nignag [31]

Answer:

Volume of medication in the cup = 50.24 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the cylindrical cup = πr^2h

Radius, r = 2 inches

Height, h = 8 inches

Volume of the cylindrical cup = πr^2h

= 3.14 × 2^2 × 8

= 3.14 × 4 × 8

= 100.48

Volume of the cylindrical cup = 100.48 cubic inches

If David only fills the cup half way,

then, the volume of medication in the cup = Total volume of the cylinder / 2

= 100.48 inches / 2

= 50.24 cubic inches

volume of medication in the cup = 50.24 cubic inches

Can you please help I'm stuck on this problem and I keep on getting it wrong
lidiya [134]

Answer:

68°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since WX and ZY are parallel, angle W and angle Z should add up to 180°

W + Z = 180°

112° + Z = 180°

Z = 68°
