The shortest side is 130 feet, the longest side is 260 feet and the greatest possible area is 33800 square feet
<h3>What dimensions would guarantee that the garden has the greatest possible area?</h3>
The given parameter is
Perimeter, P = 520 feet
Represent the shorter side with x and the longer side with y
One side of the garden is bordered by a river:
So the perimeter is:
P = 2x + y
Substitute P = 520
2x + y = 520
Make y the subject
y = 520 - 2x
The area is
A = xy
Substitute y = 520 - 2x in A = xy
A = x(520 - 2x)
Expand
A = 520x - 2x^2
Differentiate
A' = 520 - 4x
Set to 0
520 - 4x = 0
Rewrite as:
4x= 520
Divide by 4
x= 130
Substitute x= 130 in y = 520 - 2x
y = 520 - 2 *130
Evaluate
y = 260
The area is then calculated as:
A = xy
This gives
A = 130 * 260
Evaluate
A = 33800
Hence, the shortest side is 130 feet, the longest side is 260 feet and the greatest possible area is 33800 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:
i just used calculator
The question as you wrote it doesn't fit the answers. However, one of the answers fits if you meant
"elapsed time from 5:34 to 10:11".
There are many ways to do this. Try first taking the time from 5:34 to 6:11, and after that finding the time from 6:11 to to 10:11.
In a way, 6:00 is the same thing as 5:60. Add 11 to that and you can see that 6:11 is the same as 5:71. Now that you have an easy way to find the time from 5:34 to 6:11.
6:11 - 5:34 isn't easy.
But 5:71 - 5:34 is quite easy. 71 - 34 is 37.
So, from 5:34 to 6:11 there are 37 minutes.
Now the easy part, finding the time from 6:11 to 10:11. Since the minutes are the same, just subtract the hours. 10 - 6 = 4 hours.
Now you have the hours and minutes, which number 4 hours and 37 minutes.
