Answer:

The largest rectangular area is 225 feet by 225 feet giving an area of 50625 square feet

Explanation:

As the total fencing available is 900 feet, the area he available fencing can enclose will measure 'x' by '450-x' feet.

L=x

W=450-x

The area of a rectangle is determined by multiplying the length of perpendicular sides:

A = L*W

A = x*(450-x)

A = 450x-x^{2}

The derivative of an equation can be used to determine the slope at any given point of that equation. The slope will be zero at the maximum or minimum point of the equation. Thus, differentiating the equation for area and equating it to zero will give the value of 'x' where the area is maximum.

A simple variable can be differentiated using below concept:

f(a)=a^{b}

f'(a)=ba^{b-1}

Using the above concepts to differentiate equation for 'A' and equating to zero to calculate 'x' will give:

A = 450x-x^{2}

A' = 450x^{1-1}-2x^{2-1}

A' = 450-2x=0

450-2x=0

x=225

L=x=225 feet

W=450-x=450-225=225 feet

P = 2x+2(450-x)=900
A = x(450 - x)
A = x(450 - x)
-x² + 450x = A
-x² +450x = A
A is going to be maximum, when x is a vertex.
-(x² - 450x) = A
-(x² - 2*225x+225²) - 225² =A
-(x-225)² -225² = A
Vertex when x=225

Largest are 225(450-225) = 225² = 50625 ft²

The square has a largest area.

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

Un cualidad en mi caracter es la templanza. Me cuido mucho de lo que vaya a comer. La segunda cualidad positiva mental es que lo que me propongo logro. En el terreno de las relaciones tengo dos. Por ejemplo con mis padres soy bueno hijo y con mi amiga siempre dispuesto de ayudar. En mi grupo de escuela me conocen como una persona amable. Finalmente, en la iglesia yo soy el que ayuda a los ancianos.

Explanation:

One quality of my character is temperance. I take good care of what I am going to eat. The second positive mental quality is whatever I set to accomplish, I will accomplish. In the personal relationships arena, I have two. For example, I am a good son with my parents and my friend I help her in whatever she may need. Within my school, people know me as amicable. Finally, in my church, I help the elderly.

The theory of plate tectonics can be used to explain all of the following except.
jok3333 [9.3K]

The theory of plate tectonics cannot be used in explaining: the origin of the Earth's core.

<h3>What is a tectonic plate?</h3>

A tectonic plate is also known as lithospheric plate and it can be defined as an enormous, solid, irregularly shaped rock slab, that comprises two (2) plates:

  1. Continental plates
  2. Oceanic plates

<h3>The theory of plate tectonics.</h3>

The theory of plate tectonics states that the solid outer crust of planet Earth (lithosphere) is typically divided into enormous (massive) slabs of solid rock (plates) that move over the asthenosphere, including the upper portion of the mantle.

<h3>The uses of the theory of plate tectonics.</h3>
  • It can be used to explain the presence of magnetic anomalies on the ocean floor.
  • It can be used to explain the geographical distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes.
  • It can be used to explain the presence of glacial deposits in tropical areas.
  • It can be used to explain the origin of mountains.
