Answer:

Perimeter: P=62 feet

P=2(b+h)

62=2(b+h)

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:

62/2=2(b+h)/2

31=b+h

b+h=31   (1)

Area: A=bh   (2)

Isolating h in equation (1)

(1) b+h=31→b+h-b=31-b→h=31-b   (3)

Replacing h by 31-b in equation (2)

(2) A=bh

A=b(31-b)

A=31b-b^2

To maximize the area:

A'=0

A'=(A)'=(31b-b^2)'=(31b)'-(b^2)'=31-2b^(2-1)→A'=31-2b

A'=0→31-2b=0

Solving for b:

31-2b+2b=0+2b

31=2b

Dividing both sides by 2:

31/2=2b/2

31/2=b

b=31/2=15.5

Replacing b by 31/2 in equation (3)

h=31-b

h=31-31/2

h=(2*31-31)/2

h=(62-31)/2

h=31/2

The dimensions are 31/2 ft x 31/2 ft = 15.5 ft x 15.5 ft

The area with these dimensions is: A=(15.5 ft)(15.5 ft)→A=240.25 ft^2

These dimensions are not in the options

1) The first option has an area of: A=(18 ft)(13 ft)→A=234 ft^2

2) The second option has an area of: A=(19 ft)(12 ft)→A=228 ft^2

3) The third option has an area of: A=(17 ft)(14 ft)→A=238 ft^2

The third option has the largest area.

Answer: Third option

If a room is 20 by 24 feet, how big is it on a floor plan where 1/2 inch represents 1 foot?
Naddik [55]
Well if you take the room being 20 x 24. Thats 480 feet. But you want how large in 1/2 inch. 1/2 inch is 1/24 of a foot. So if we take 480 feet being 1 and times it by 24. (480 x 24) You get 11,520 half inches. Brainliest would be much appreciated if you feel its deserved.

This is a parabola, first, locate the line of symmetry.
the line of symmetry is x=-b/2a
in this case, b=-2, a=-1, so the line of symmetry is x=-1
when x=-1, f(x)=-(-1)²-2(-1)-3=-2  
locate the point (-1,-2) on the grid. this point is the vertex.
get two pairs of points with x=-1 as the symmetry line:
(0, -3) and (-2, -3); (1,-6) and (-3,-6) 
connect these five points into a parabola, stick out at the ends because it will extend forever downward.
