Answer:

18 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>1  )The three sides of the gutter add up to 12</em>

            2x+ y = 12  

<em>2)  Subtract 2x from both sides. </em>

           y = 12 — 2x  

<em>3 )Find the area of the rectangle in terms of x and simplify.</em>

    Area = xy = x(12 — 2x) = -2x^2+12x = f(x)  

<em>4 )  x=-b/2a</em>

     <em>x co-ordinate of the vertex= -12/2(-2)=3</em>

<em>5 )Plug in 3 for x into they equation.</em>

    y co-ordinate of the vertex= 12 — 2(3) = 6  

<em>6  )  Plug in 3 for x and 6 for y.  </em>

      Area= xy = 3(6) = 18  

RESULT  

            18 in^2

case  A) 748,917
the value of the digit in the thousands place------> 8000
1/10 the value of the digit is-------> (1/10)*8000=800
800=800---------------> is ok

case  B) 749,817
the value of the digit in the thousands place------> 9000
1/10 the value of the digit is-------> (1/10)*9000=900
900 is not 800

case  C) 784,817
the value of the digit in the thousands place------> 4000
1/10 the value of the digit is-------> (1/10)*4000=400
400 is not 800

case  D) 797,481
the value of the digit in the thousands place------> 7000
1/10 the value of the digit is-------> (1/10)*7000=700
700 is not 800

the answer is the option A) 748,917
