A local chicken farmer is constructing a set of eight pens to cage his chickens as shown in the diagram below. He has decided to
use 1000 feet of fencing to create the pens.
(I'll attach diagram)
(a) Express the width y as a function of the length x.
y(x)=
(b) Express the total enclosed area A of the pens as function of x.
A(x)=
(c) Determine the dimensions x and y that will maximize the enclosed area.
x=________ feet
y=________ feet

To solve for the width and the length of the pool, you will use the formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism. You will represent the length and the width of the pool in terms of w, the width.
Please see the attached picture for the work.
The width of the pool is 20 feet.
The length of the pool is 3 x 20 ft or 60 feet.

Please see the attached image for solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cent: Rounding to the nearest cent or multiple of 0.01.
Dime: Rounding to the nearest 10 cents or multiple of 0.10.
Dollar: Rounding to the nearest dollar or multiples of 1.
For example, in question #21:
To round $12.3456 to the nearest cent: you must look at the hundredths place, and pay attention to the digit to its right. In this case, the digit at the hundredths place is 4, and to its right is 5. Therefore, you must round it up to 5, making it $12.3<u>5</u>.
To round $12.3456 to the nearest dime: you must look at the tenths place, and pay attention to the digit to its right. In this case, the digit at the tenths place is 3, and to its right is 4. Since 4 is less than 5, you must round 4 down to 0, making it into $12.<u>3</u>0.
To round $12.3456 to the nearest dollar: you must look at the ones place, and pay attention to the digit to its right. In this case, the digit at the ones place is 2, and to its right is 3. Since 3 is less than 5, you must round 3 down to 0, making it into $1<u>2</u>.00.
