Answer:

4 inches should be turned up on both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, create a situation in which we give the amount turned up on each side as x. Then give the amount that isn't turned up as 16 - 2x (since 2x is the amount turned up). Now we can find the area by multiplying the 3 measurements.

100 * x * (16 - 2x) = MAX

100 * (16x - 2x^2) = MAX

-200x^2 + 1600x = MAX

Now that we have a quadratic function, we can find the maximum value of x by using the vertex formula for x values (-b/2a).

x = -b/2a

x = -1600/2(-200)

x = -1600/-400

x = 4

Work Out The Value of X
melomori [17]

Answer:

71°

Step-by-step explanation:

3x° + (x - 11)° + (2x - 55)° = 360°

3x + x - 11 + 2x - 55 = 360°

6x - 66 = 360°

6x = 360° + 66°

6x = 426°

x = 71°
