Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangular area be L and W be the width of the rectangular garden hence:

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

There is 100 feet of fencing available which represents the perimeter, therefore:

100 = 2(L + W)

L + W = 100/2

L + W = 50  

L = 50 - W

The area (A) = L × W

A = L × W

A = (50 - W) × W

A = 50W - W²

To get maximum area, we find the first derivative of the area and equate to zero

A' = 50 - 2W

50 - 2W = 0

2W = 50

W = 50/2

W = 25 feet

100 = 2(L + W)

50 = L + W

L = 50 - W = 50 - 25

L = 25 feet

To maximize area, the length and width should be 25 feet each

Find the ratio of 4 meter to 50 centimetre
ladessa [460]

                          (4 meters)  /  (50 centimeters)

                  =      (4 x 100 centimeters)  /  (50 centimeters)

                  =      (400 centimeters)  /  (50 centimeters)

                  =              (400) / (50)

                  =                     8       .

Elina [12.6K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  14

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula with n=3.

  h(3) = h(3-2) +h(3-1)

  h(3) = h(1) +h(2)

  h(3) = -6 +20 . . . . . substitute the given values

  h(3) = 14
