Answer:

Length = 225 ft

Width = 150 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If L is the length and W is the width, then:

900 = 2L + 3W

A = LW

Solve for W in the first equation:

3W = 900 − 2L

W = 300 − ⅔ L

Substitute into the area equation:

A = L (300 − ⅔ L)

A = 300L − ⅔ L²

Use calculus to find dA/dL and set to 0, or use the formula for vertex of a parabola.

Using calculus:

dA/dL = 300 − 4/3 L

0 = 300 − 4/3 L

L = 225

Using vertex formula:

L = -b / (2a)

L = -300 / (-4/3)

L = 225

Find the width:

W = 300 − ⅔ L

W = 150

You got the right answers, but the problem says to assume that the length is greater than the width.

There are 7 people in a room. Each person shakes hands once. How many handshakes will there be?
DiKsa [7]

7 people so first one shakes hand with the remaining people. that is 6

The 2nd person also shakes hand with 6 persons but we have already counted his handshake with first person. so we have to add 6-1 = 5 shakes for 2nd person

like wise 3rd person shakes hand with the remaining 6-2 = 4 people

4th person with 6-3=3 people

5th person with 6-4= 2 persons

6th person with 6-5=1 person

and 7th one with no one because already he has shaken his hand with everyone.

since these people shake their hands with others only once we just have to add the obtained values

6+5 +4+3+2+1= 21

totally 21 handshakes will be there in that room
