We are given the description of an enclosure that has fencing on 3 sides and can use 3,056 yards of fencing. We are to find the

dimensions that will maximize the area contained within the fence. A rectangle formed along a straight portion of a river. The rectangle is formed by the river (a long side), a long side of fence labeled y, and two short sides of fence labeled x. Let y represent the length of fence that is opposite the river and x represent the length of each length of fence perpendicular to the river. As there are 3,056 yards of fencing available, the sum of the lengths of the sides of the enclosure results in

Answer:

The sum of the lengths of the sides is 2292 yards and the sum of the lengths of the triangle is 3056 yards

Explanation:

Since y represents the length of fence that is opposite (parallel) to the river and x represent the length of fence perpendicular to the river.

Therefore since we can use 3,056 yards of fencing

Side perpendicular to the river = x and,

Side opposite to the river = y = 3056 - 2x

The area of the rectangle formed (A) = Perpendicular side × Parallel side

∴ A = x(3056 - 2x) = 3056x - 2x²

A = 3056x - 2x²

To maximize the area, A' (dA/dx) = 0

∴ A' = 3056 - 4x = 0

3056 - 4x = 0

4x = 3056

x = 764 yards

y =  3056 - 2x = 3056 - 2(764) = 1528 yards.

Side perpendicular to the river = 764 yards and,

Side opposite to the river = 1528 yards

The sum of the lengths of the sides = 764 + 1528 = 2292 yard and the sum of the lengths of the triangle = 764 + 764 + 1528 = 3056 yards

netineya [11]

Answer:

#1. B. Alfred Wegener

#2. C. Volcanic activity at the ocean bottom.

#3. B, C. Continental, Sea floor (oceanic).

#4. B. Folding

#5. B. Tectonics

#6. C. Point underground where the earthquake starts

#7. C. Flood waters carrying away soil

Explanation:

#1. Alfred Lothar Wegener was a German polar researcher, geophysicist and meteorologist. During his lifetime he was primarily known for his achievements in meteorology and as a pioneer of polar research, and is also known as the father of plate tectonics.

#2. The most prominent feature of ocean topography discovered in the 1960s was: Volcanic activity at the ocean bottom. The continents have always been in their current positions.

#3. Tectonic plates are composed of oceanic lithosphere and thicker continental lithosphere, each topped by its own kind of crust. The two types of tectonic plates are continental and oceanic tectonic plates.

#4. Tremendous pushing forces exerted by two of Earth's plates moving together squeezed rock layers from opposite sides. This caused the rock layers to buckle and fold, forming folded mountains. Folded mountains are mountains formed by the folding of rock layers caused by compression forces.

#5. Plate tectonics is the scientific theory explaining the movement of the earth's crust. It is widely accepted by scientists today. Recall that both continental landmasses and the ocean floor are part of the earth's crust, and that the crust is broken into individual pieces called tectonic plates.

#6. The hypocenter is the point within the earth where an earthquake rupture starts. The epicenter is the point directly above it at the surface of the Earth. Also commonly termed the focus. See also epicenter.

#7. This process is known as erosion. In earth science, erosion is the action of surface processes that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, and then transports it to another location.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day!

One side of the moon always faces Earth because the time it takes the moon to spin on its axis is blank the time it takes the mo
Kamila [148]
The word to fill in the blank is "equal". Because the time taken to rotate (spin on its axis) is equal to the time of revolution (going around the earth), this means that both have the same rate of angular rotation. So for every bit that the moon goes around its orbit around earth, the moon itself rotates accordingly to present the exact same side to earth.

What is dark energy?
olga2289 [7]

Explanation:

Dark Energy. Dark Energy is a hypothetical form of energy that exerts a negative, repulsive pressure, behaving like the opposite of gravity. It has been hypothesised to account for the observational properties of distant type Ia supernovae, which show the universe going through an accelerated period of expansion

A neutron star and a black hole are 3.34 x 1012 m from each other at a certain point in their orbit. The neutron star has a mass
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

  F=1.65 x 10²⁶ N

Explanation:

Given that

Distance ,R= 3.34 x 10¹² m

Mass m₁= 2.78 x 10³⁰ kg

Mass ,m₂= 9.94 x 10³⁰ kg

we know that gravitational force F given as

F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{R^2}

G=Constant

G=6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

Now by putting the values

F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{2.78\times 10^{30}\times 9.94\times 10^{30}}{(3.34\times 10^{12})^2}\ N

F=1.65 x 10²⁶ N

Therefore the force between these two mass will be 1.65 x 10²⁶ N.

A fossil form when an organism buried in sediment dissolves leaving a hollow area
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

A Mold

Explanation:

A mold forms when hard parts of an organism are buried in sediment; the hard parts completely dissolve over time, leaving behind a hollow area. A cast forms as a result of a mold when minerals and sediment fill in the impression.
