Answer:

h = 120 ft;    w = 80 ft

A = 9600 ft^2

Explanation:

Let h and w be the dimensions of the playground. The area is given by:

A = h*w   (eq1)

The total amount of fence used is:

L = 2*h + 2*w + w    (eq2)    (an extra distance w beacuse of the division)

Solving for w:

w = L - 2/3*h = 480 - 2/3*h   (eq3)  Replacing this into the area eq:

A = h * (480 - 2/3*h) = 480*h - 2/3*h^2

We derive this and equal zero to find its maximum:

dA = 480 - 4/3*h = 0   Solving for h:

h = 120 ft.  Replacing this into eq3:

w = 80ft

Therefore the maximum area is:

A = 9600 ft^2

If the marshmallows represent the atoms in the substance, which change of state is Freida modeling Freida wants to model the way
sashaice [31]

Answer: Melting

Explanation:

When Frieda made a pyramid of marshmallows, she was representing the atoms in a solid substance as the atoms are clumped together and unable to move.

When she then knocks it down, she is showing the movement of atoms in a liquid substance as they are now freer than they were before. The process by which substances go from solid to liquid is melting.

Any ss2 here (11th Grade)
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

<h2>a) 50°</h2><h2>b) 40°</h2>

Explanation:

Check the complete diagram n the attachment below

a) The angle of incidence on a plane surface is the angle between the incidence ray and the normal ray acting on a plane surface. The normal ray is the ray perpendicular to the surface while the incidence ray is the ray striking a plane surface.

According to the diagram, the angle of reflection r₂ on M₂ is 90°-g where g is the angle of glance.

Given angle of glance on M₂ to be 40°, r₂ = 90-40 = 50°

According the second law of reflection, the angle of incidence = angle of reflection, therefore i₂ = r₂ = 50° (on M₂)

Also ∠OO₂O₁ =  ∠OO₁O₂ = 40° (angle of glance on M₁){alternate angle}

The angle of incidence on M₁ = 90° - 40° = 50°

b) The angle of incidence to the surface of M₁(∠PO₁A)will be the angle of glance on M₁ which is equivalent to 40°

An electric current in a wire flows to the West in a magnetic field directed
vredina [299]

Answer: Current in a wire

We can use the same right-hand rule as we did for the moving charges—pointer finger in the direction the current is flowing, middle finger in the direction of the magnetic field, and thumb in the direction the wire is pushed.
