Answer:

The largest total area that can be enclosed will be a square of length 272 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we get the perimeter of the large rectangular enclosure.

Perimeter of a rectangle =2(l + w)

Perimeter of the large rectangular enclosure= 1088 yard

Therefore:

2(L+W)=1088

The region inside the fence is the area

Area: A = LW

We need to solve the perimeter formula for either the length or width.

2L+ 2W= 1088 yd

2W= 1088– 2L

W = \frac{1088-2L}{2}

W = 544–L

Now substitute W = 544–L into the area formula

A = LW

A = L(544 – L)

A = 544L–L²

Since A is a quadratic expression, we re-write the expression with the exponents in descending order.

A = –L²+544L

Next, we look for the value of the x coordinate

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

L= -\frac{544}{2X-1}

L=272 yards

Plugging L=272 yards into the calculation for area:

A = –L²+544L

A(272)=-272²+544(272)

=73984 square yards

Thus the largest area that could be encompassed would be a square where each side has a length of 272 yards and a width of:

W = 544 – L

= 544 – 272

= 272 yards

Answer:

Volume of composite is 483  mm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to add the volume of a rectangular prism (7 mm x 12 mm x 3 mm) to a semi-cylinder (of radius 3.5 mm and height 12 mm):

Volume of the prism = 7 x 12 x 3 mm^3  = 252 mm^3

Volume of the semi-cylinder =  \frac{\pi\,\,R^2\,\,H}{2}  =  \frac{\pi\,\,(3.5)^2\,\,(12)}{2} =230.907 \,\,mm^3

Therefore the sum of both volumes gives:

(252 + 230.907) mm^3 = 482.907  mm^3

WHich can be rounded to the nearest whole number as: 483 mm^3

kenny6666 [7]

-5 to 0 is 5 degrees

0 to 27 is 27 degrees

Total change = 5 + 27 = 32 degrees.
