Answer:
24.58
Step-by-step explanation:
now, a line perpendicular to that one, will have a "negative reciprocal" slope, thus
Answer: A. A=(1000-2w)*w B. 250 feet
C. 125 000 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of rectangular is A=l*w (1)
From another hand the length of the fence is 2*w+l=1000 (2)
L is not multiplied by 2, because the opposite side of the l is the barn,- we don't need in fence on that side.
Express l from (2):
l=1000-2w
Substitude l in (1) by 1000-2w
A=(1000-2w)*w (3) ( Part A. is done !)
Part B.
To find the width w (Wmax) that corresponds to max of area A we have to dind the roots of equation (1000-2w)w=0 ( we get it from (3))
w1=0 1000-2*w2=0
w2=500
Wmax= (w1+w2)/2=(0+500)/2=250 feet
The width that maximize area A is Wmax=250 feet
Part C. Using (3) and the value of Wmax=250 we can write the following:
A(Wmax)=250*(1000-2*250)=250*500=125 000 square feets
.
I converted it into decimal form with a calculator and got approximately 48.9898
And if you round that, you will get the 49, which fits the inequality of
45< < 50 since it becomes 45 < 49 < 50 which is true
