Answer:

  42.5 ft by 21.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest area is obtained when half the available fence is used parallel to the existing fence, and the other half is used to fence the two ends of the rectangle. Here, that means the dimension parallel to the existing fence is ...

  (85 ft)/2 = 42.5 ft

and the ends of the rectangular garden are ...

  (42.5 ft)/2 = 21.25 ft ≈ 21.3 ft

_____

You can figure this as follows:

Let x represent the length of fence parallel to the existing fence. Then the other dimension of the fenced area is (85 -x)/2 and the fenced area is the product of these dimensions.

  area = x(85-x)/2

This expression describes a downward-opening parabola with zeros at x=0 and at x=85. The vertex (maximum) will be found where x is halfway between these values, at x = (0 +85)/2 = 42.5.

Area is maximized when 42.5 ft of fencing is used parallel to the existing fence, and the other half of the fencing is used for the other two sides of the enclosure.

Prove that the diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other. the midpoint of is _____
Deffense [45]
In this attached picture, we can prove that triangles AOB and COD are congruent. ∠CDO and ∠ABO are equal because they are alternate angles. Similarly, ∠OAB and ∠OCD are equal because they are alternate angles, as well. We have a rectangle and in the rectangle, opposite sides are equal; AB = CD. Then, because of Angle-SIde-Angle principle, we can say that triangles AOB and COD are equal. If triangles are congruent, then OD = OB and OC = AO. Applying congruency to the triangles ACD and BCD, we can see that these triangles are also congruent. It means that the diagonals are equal. Since, OD = OB and OC = AO, it proves that the point O simultaneously is the midpoint and intersection point for the diagonals.
