Answer:

41,666.67m2

Step-by-step explanation:

Call W the Width and L the Length with 3 pieces.

The total length will be 2W + 3L

The Area is L*W

so,

A = L*W

2W+3L = 1000

Solve for L

3L = 1000-2W

L = (1000-2W)/3

subtitute for L into the first equation

A = L*W

A = W*(1000-2W)/3

A = (1000W - 2W^2)/3

Now, to find the max, set the 1st derivative = 0. I don't know if you know what that means, but...

dA/dW = 1000/3 - 4W/3 = 0

1000 - 4W = 0

W = 250 meters

Solve for L

2W+3L = 1000

500 + 3L = 1000

3L = 500

L = 166.67 m

Area = 250*500/3 = 41,666.67m2.

A line with a slope of 2 passes through the points (0,4) and (-6,v). What is the value of v?
krok68 [10]

To solve this problem, we should create an equation using the given information.  To do this, we should calculate the slope between the two points as if they were regular points, giving us:

change in y/change in x = (v-4)/(-6-0) = (v-4)/(-6)

Since we know that the slope is 2, we can set our calculated value for the slope of the line for the equation (v-4)/(-6) equal to 2, as shown below:

(v-4)/(-6) = 2

To solve this equation, we should multiply both sides of the equation by -6 to get rid of the denominator on the left side of the equation.

v-4 = -12

Next, we should add 4 to both sides of the equation to get the variable v alone on the left side of the equation, as shown below:

v = -8

Therefore, v =-8 is your answer.

Hope this helps!

Can you answer this for me plssss 0.5(r+2.75)=3
lora16 [44]

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5 ( r + 2.75 ) = 3

r + 2.75 = 3 / 0.5

r + 2.75 = 6

r = 6 - 2.75

r = 3.25
