Jacob wants to build a rectangular enclosure for his animals. One side of the pen will be against the barn, so he needs no fence

on that side. The other three sides will be enclosed with wire fencing. If Jacob has 400 feet of fencing, you can find the dimensions that maximize the area of the enclosure.
a) Let w be the width of the enclosure (perpendicular to the barn) and let l be the length of the enclosure (parallel to the barn). Write an function for the area A of the enclosure in terms of w . (HINT first write two equations with w and l and A . Solve for l in one equation and substitute for l in the other).

A(w) =

b) What width
w would maximize the area?
w = _____ ft
c) What is the maximum area?
A = _______square feet

Jacob wants to build a rectangular enclosure for his animals. One side of the pen will be against the barn,so he needs no fence on that side.

Let w be the width of the enclosure (perpendicular to the barn) and let l be the length of the enclosure (parallel to the barn).

one side of the length is not counted for perimeter because one side of length will be against the barn.

Perimeter = 400 ft

Perimeter of rectangle = L + W + W

400 = L + 2W

L = 400 - 2W

Area = L * W

Replace L by  400 - 2W

A(W) =  (400 - 2W) * W

A(W) = -2W^2 + 400W

Now we find out x coordinate of vertex to find the width that maximize the area

W = \frac{-b}{2a}

a= -2 and b = 400

W = \frac{-(400)}{2(-2)}=100

The width  w would maximize the area is w = 100ft

To find maximum area we plug in 100 for W in A(W)

A(W) = -2W^2 + 400W

A(W) = -2(100)^2 + 400(100)= 20000

the maximum area is 20,000 square feet

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the following
Valentin [98]
The perpendicular equation would include a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of the original slope.

Steps:
1. Get x to the other side in the original equation. This making the slope -4 or -4/1.

2. Turn the slope into it’s opposite reciprocal m = 1/4.

3. If you use point-slope form, y - y1 = m( x - x1 ), you can substitute y1 and x1 with the numbers in the point given. But since we previously found the opposite reciprocal, we will replace “m” as well. *By the way, the subtraction of a negative makes a positive. [y + 3 = 1/4( x + 4 )]

4. Solve:
A: Distribute (y + 3 = 1/4x + 1)
B: Subtract 3 from both sides (y = 1/4x -2)

Perpendicular Equation: y = 1/4x - 2

scoray [572]

Answer: The angles of ΔA'B'C are congruent to the corresponding parts of the original triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Triangle ABC was rotated 90 degrees clockwise. Then it underwent a dilation centered at the origin with a scale factor of 4.

A rotation is a rigid transformation that creates congruent images but dilation is not a rigid transformation, it creates similar images but not congruent.

Also, the corresponding angles of similar triangles are congruent.

Therefore, The angles of ΔA'B'C are congruent to the corresponding parts of the original triangle.
