4 1/10 in fraction form that is your answer
For the largest area, half the fence is used parallel to the river, and the other half is used for the two ends of the rectangular space.
The dimensions are 475 m by 237.5 m.
_____
Let x represent the length along the river. Then the area (A) is found as
.. A = x*(950 -x)/2
This equation describes a parabola with its vertex (maximum) halfway between the zeros of x=0 and x=950. That is, the maximum area is achieved when half the fence is used parallel to the river.
Answer:
Pythagorean Theorem: c2 = a2 + b2
Find the area by adding the areas of the three triangles. The area of a right triangle is: A = ½bh
Two triangles are identical so you can just multiply the area of the first triangle by two: 2A1 = 2(½bh) = 2(½ab) = ab.
The total area of the trapezoid is : A1 + A2 = ab + ½c2
You multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the ½: (a2 + 2ab + b2) = 2ab + c2
You subtract out the 2ab: a2 + b2 = c2.
Then what is left is the proof: a2 + b2 = c2
