<span>So we want to know how much does the pencil costs if the ruler costs 1$ more than the pencil and together they cost 1.5$. So lets start with converting dollars into cents. Lets turn this into an equation. Ruler is x and the pencil is y. So together ruler and pencil cost 150cents or: x+y=150 cents. The ruler costs 100 cents more than the pencil, or: (x+100 cents ) + y = 150 cents. So we see that we need to put the values of x=25 cents and y=25 cents to get the ruler to cost 125 cents which is 100 cents or 1$ more than the pencil. So the pencil costs 25 cents. </span>

Jacob wants to build a rectangular enclosure for his animals. One side of the pen will be against the barn, so he needs no fence
Citrus2011 [14]

Jacob wants to build a rectangular enclosure for his animals. One side of the pen will be against the barn,so he needs no fence on that side.

Let w be the width of the enclosure (perpendicular to the barn) and let l be the length of the enclosure (parallel to the barn).

one side of the length is not counted for perimeter because one side of length will be against the barn.

Perimeter = 400 ft

Perimeter of rectangle = L + W + W

400 = L + 2W

L = 400 - 2W

Area = L * W

Replace L by  400 - 2W

A(W) =  (400 - 2W) * W

A(W) = -2W^2 + 400W

Now we find out x coordinate of vertex to find the width that maximize the area

W = \frac{-b}{2a}

a= -2 and b = 400

W = \frac{-(400)}{2(-2)}=100

The width  w would maximize the area is w = 100ft

To find maximum area we plug in 100 for W in A(W)

A(W) = -2W^2 + 400W

A(W) = -2(100)^2 + 400(100)= 20000

the maximum area is 20,000 square feet

Answer:

20.04 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows right triangle ABC. Use the definition of the cosine:

\cos \angle C=\dfrac{\text{Adjacent leg}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}\\ \\\cos \angle C=\dfrac{BC}{AC}\\ \\\cos 51^{\circ}=\dfrac{BC}{27}\\ \\BC=27\cdot \cos 51^{\circ}\\ \\BC\approx 20.04\ units
