Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the dimensions of the playground are x and y.

The total amount of the fence used is given and it is 780 ft. In terms of x and y this would be 3x+2y=780 (we add 3x because we want it to be cut in the middle). Therefore,  y= 780/2-3/2x. Now, the total area (A )to be fenced is

A=x*y= x*(390-3/2x)=-3/2 x^2+390x

Calculating the derivative of A and setting it equals to 0 to find the maximum

A'= -3x+390=0

This yields x=130.

Therefore y=780/2-3/2*130=195

Thus, the maximum area is 130*195=25,350ft^2

identify a two-digit dividend that will result in a quotient with a remainder 1 when the divisor is 4
Afina-wow [57]
17, 21, 25, etc. because when you divided 4 by any of these numbers you will get your answer with a remainder of 1. For example, 17/4 is 4 R.1 because 4 times 4 is 16, then you will have one left over. (At my school you always go to a decimal not a remainder)

What is the closest hundred to 6526
butalik [34]
I think the answer is 6530 because ask yourself, what amount is in the hundreds section, which is 526. the rule is : if your number is past 5 hundred twenty five you round up to the nearest tenth, which is 5hundred thirty. so your answer is 6,530. I hope I explained it to be understandable...
