A farmer wants to fence in a rectangular plot of land adjacent to the north wall of his barn. no fencing is needed along the bar

n, and the fencing along the west side of the plot is shared with a neighbor who will split the cost of that portion of the fence. if the fencing costs $12 per linear foot to install and the farmer is not willing to spend more than $3000, find the dimensions for the plot that would enclose the most area. (width, length) =

Hi,

Let assume a the west side,

b the length of the north wall (i suppose the answer is smaller then the barn.

Cost of the fence= a*6+a*12+b*12=3000 $.

So 3a+2b=500==>b=(500-3a)/2

Area =a*b=a(500-3a)/2= 250a-3/2a²

Derivate the area ==> 250-3a=0

==> a=250/3 and b=(500-3*250/3)/2=125

Width=125 (feet)

Length=250/3=83.333 (feet)

Rainbow [258]

To find out if the triangle is a right triangle, we must check if the following equation is true:

(15)^2+(20)^2=(25)^2^{}^{}^{}

on the left side, we have:

(15)^2+(20)^2=225+400=625^{}

and on the right side, we have:

(25)^2=625

since on both sides we get 625, we have that the brace forms a right triangle.

Elza [17]
Consider the right triangle ABC with legs AB=4, AC=3 and hypotenuse BC=5. Angle B has
 \sin B=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{3}{5} and
 \cos B = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{4}{5}.

Since O lies in second quadrant \cos O\ \textless \ 0 and 
\cos O= -\cos B =- \frac{4}{5}.
Answer: \cos O=- \frac{4}{5}.
