When one side of a quadrilateral is not to be fenced (ex. a river, as in this case), the optimal fencing to maximize the area is always to use half the fencing for the length, and one-fourth for each of the two widths

A) For 1000 ft of fencing which is to be used to cover 1 length and 2 widths:
L = 1000/2 = 500, and W = 1000/4 = 250. The optimal dimensions will be 250 x 500 ft.

B) This will result in an area of 250*500 = 125,000 sq. ft.

Fern rounded to the nearest ten to estimate 548-132. She subtracted 540-130 and got 410. Is Fern's estimate correct? Explain.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
Fern's estimate is not correct because he rounded 548 wrong, it would be rounded to 550 instead since the number 8 is closer to 10. So the correct answer would be 420.

A positive integer is 1010 more than 2727 times another. their product is 1211712117. find the two integers.
Goshia [24]
1010 + 2727x = y
x*y = 1211712117
x*(1010 + 2727x) = 1211712117
2727x^2 + 1010x - 1211712117 = 0

Here's the nasty part.
In order for this to work, the square root of the quadratic formula must come back with an integer. In fact sqrt (b^2 - 4ac) comes back with
3635568.29 something. which is not a whole number. Either there is an error in the givens or something, but this question is never going to do what you think it will do.

choose two numbers from the list 3,4,6,12. Explain the difference between finding the greatest common factor and the least commo
zepelin [54]
3 & 6 - LCM = 3. 3's multiples are 3, 6, 9,12, 16, etc. 6's multiples are 6, 12, 18, etc. therefore, the least common multiple is 6.
GCF - 3's factors are 1, 3, and 6's factors 1, 2, 3. so the greatest common factor is 3.
