Answer:

length = 60 foot, width = 30 foot

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangular part, A = 1800 ft²

Cost of fencing three sides is $ 6 per foot and cost of one side fencing is $18 per foot.

Let the length of the rectangle is l and the width of the rectangle is W.

Area = Length x width

A = L x W

1800 = L x W ...... (1)

Total cost of fencing, C = 6 x ( L + W + L) + 18 x W

C = 6 (2L + W) + 18 W

C = 12 L + 24 W

Substitute the value of W from equation (1), W=\frac{1800}{L} in equation (2)

C=12L+24\times \frac{1800}{L}

C=12L+\frac{43200}{L}

Differentiate both sides with respect to L:

\frac{dC}{dL}=12-\frac{43200}{L^{2}}

Put it equal to zero for maxima and minima

12-\frac{43200}{L^{2}}=0

L = 60 foot

and W = 30 foot

So, the costing is minimum for length = 60 foot and the width = 30 foot.

Given this proportion, what ratio completes the equivilent proportion a/8?
Paladinen [302]
To solve this problem you must follow the steps below:

 You have a/b=8/15, Then:

 1. You must divide in both side of the given proportion by 8:

 a/bx8=8/15x8

 2. When you simplify, you obtain:

 a/8b=1/15

 3. Now, you must multiply both sides by "b", as below:

 axb/8b=1xb/15

 4. Finally, when you simplify, you have:

 a/8=b/15
