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

HELP PLEASE 18 POINTS
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

line 1  m=y2-y1 / x2-x1  [formula for slope ]

m= 0 - (-3) / 8-(-4)

m= 3 /12      

m= 1/4  slope of line 1

line2  

m = 2-6 / 0-(-1)

m = -4 / 1

m = -4  slope of line 2

line 3

m = -4 - (-7)  / -3 -  6

m = 3 / -9

m = - 1/3  slope of line 3

lines 1 & 2   perpendicular b/c they are reciprocals with a sign change :)

lines 1 & 3     neither.. differet slopes and not reciprocals

lines 2 & 3  perpendicular  b/c they are reciprocals with a sign change :)

keisha got a fish tank. It fits on table that is exactly 10 inches wide and 12 inches long. When the tank is filled, it can hold
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: 15 inches is the height of Keisha's fish tank.

Step-by-step explanation: Basically, multiply your length x width, which is 12 x 10. 12 x 10 = 120.

Next, divide 1800 by 120.

1800 divided by 120 is 15.

So, 15 inches is the height of the fish tank.
