The largest area that can be enclosed to the nearest square meter will be 348613 m²

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Suppose, the length and width of the rectangular plot are  l and w respectively.

The farmer does not fence the side along the highway. Lets assume, the <u>farmer does not fence across one length side</u>. So, the total fence needed = l+2w

Given that, the length of the fence is 1670 meters. So, the equation will be.....

l+2w=1670\\ \\ l= 1670-2w

Now, the area of the plot.....

A= l*w\\ \\ A= (1670-2w)w \\ \\ A=1670w-2w^2

Taking derivative on both sides of the above equation in respect of w , we will get.....

\frac{dA}{dw}=1670-2(2w)\\ \\ \frac{dA}{dw}=1670-4w

<u>Now A will be maximum when \frac{dA}{dw}=0 </u>. So....

1670-4w=0\\ \\ 4w=1670\\ \\ w=\frac{1670}{4}=417.5

Thus, the area will be:  A= 1670w-2w^2=1670(417.5)-2(417.5)^2= 348612.5 \approx 348613

So, the largest area that can be enclosed to the nearest square meter will be 348613 m²

What you need to do is do the formula of Area=1/2×Height (Base B +Base A) Base B is bottom Base A is the top then you divide by 2 In this case 1/2 ×8/1 ×(12+15)=108

Brian is riding his bike. He biked a distance of 14 miles at a rate of 14 miles per hour. Rearrange the distance formula, d = rt
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

60 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = Rate × Time

14 miles = 14mph × ?

Hence, time = 14 miles ÷ 14 mph = 1 hour

1 hour = 60 minutes.

He rode his bike for 60 minutes.

Which of the following numbers is not a perfect square?<br><br> 24<br> 25<br> 64<br> 100
stich3 [128]
Hi! 

A perfect square is the product of when a whole number is multiplied by itself

Ex:

6 × 6 = 36, 36 is the perfect square. 

The number that is being multiplied is the square root. 

So to find the correct answer for this question, let's use the process of elimination. 

100 = 10 × 10 so we can cross out 100

64 = 8 × 8 so we can cross out 64

25 = 5 × 5 so we can cross out 25

Now all we have left is 24, which is not a perfect square. 

Answer: A. 24

Hope this helps :)
