Answer:

Dimensions :

x (the longer side, only one side with fence )   =  90  ft

y ( the shorter side two sides with fence )        =  45  ft

Total fence used   45 * 2  +  90    =  180 ft

A(max)  =  

Step-by-step explanation: If a farmer has 180 ft of fencing to encloses a rectangular area with fence in three sides and the river on one side, the farmer surely wants to have a maximum enclosed area.

Lets call "x" one the longer side  ( only one of the longer side of the rectangle will have fence, the other will be along the river and won´t need fence. "y" will be the shorter side

Then we have:

P = perimeter  =  180  =  2y  +  x        ⇒   y  =  ( 180 - x )  / 2        (1)

And   A (r)   =  x * y

A(x)   =  x  *  ( 180 - x ) /2       ⇒   A(x)   = (180/2) *x   -  x² / 2

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation :

A´(x)   =  90   -  x    

Then if    A´(x)   =  0   ⇒        90   -  x    =  0     ⇒   x  =  90 ft

and from :       y  =  ( 180 - x )  / 2     ⇒     y  =  90/2

y  =  45  ft

And

A(max)  =  90 * 45    =  4050  ft²

Please help!! Kyra is using rectangular tiles of two types for a floor design. A tile of each type is shown below: Which stateme
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer: Statement B is correct; the two tiles are similar because PQ:QR is 1:3 and JK:KL is also 1:3

Step-by-step explanation: The two tiles as shown in the diagram has their dimensions given according to their position on the Cartesian plane. Tile SRQP has its width at coordinates (2,2) and (4,2) which means the width spans from 2 cm to 4 cm on the x-axis, that is a length of 4 minus 2 which is 2 cm. Similarly the length is at coordinates (2,2) to (2,8) which means the length spans from 2 cm to 8 cm on the y-axis, that is a length  of 8 minus 2 which is 6 cm. Therefore the dimensions of the first tile is 6 cm by 2 cm.

Similarly, we can derive the length and width of the smaller tile MLKJ, by applying the same procedure and what we would have is a tile measuring 3 cm by 1 cm.

The ratio of tile SRQP can be derived as

Ratio = 2 : 6

Ratio = 1 : 3

Also the ratio of the tile MLKJ can be derived as

Ratio = 1 : 3

Having calculated the ratio 1 : 3 for both tiles, then we can safely conclude that both are similar.

Nastasia [14]
In the original recipe, it asks for 10 diced strawberries. 10x3=30, so for all of the required numbers of fruits, multiply the number by three. 4x3=12 bananas 3x3=9 apples 6x3=18 pears 10x3=30 strawberries
