Mr. Parker's farm borders a river. He buys 1,000 ft of fencing

1 answer:

8 0

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.

Have a look of the drawing... What is "d" value? I have tried many methods but don't find how to solve... Pleaseeee

Phoenix [80]

I´d say "d" is the distance from the eye to the wall.
Now substracting 1.2-1 you´ll get the distance of the wall of the smallest triangle = 0.2 And you do 1.5-0.2= 0.3 that´s the distance of the wall of the other triangle. Then you solve everything with Pitagoras theorem. You have 2 rectangle triangles.
B+alfa=45°
tan^-1(0.2/d)=B
tan^-1(1.3/d)=alfa
THEN:
tan^-1(0.2/d)+tan^-1(1.3/d)=45°
Now you have 3 ecs and 3 variables.
alfa,B and "d"

Jeff earns $27,800 per year. what is his bi-monthly gross pay

Anarel [89]

Below are the choices that can be found elsewhere:

<span>a. $1,158.33
b. $1,069.23
c. $2,316.66
d. $1,539.22
</span>
Below is the solution:
$27,800 / 12 months = 2,316
$2,316 / 2 since it bi-monthly = $1,158.33

Answer: 1211.6585 years

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The equation for exponential growth is: $P=P_oe^{kt}$

P: final population
P₀: initial population
k: rate of decay (or growth)
t: time

Use the half life information to find k:

$\dfrac{1}{2}P_o=P_oe^{k(800)}\\\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}=e^{800k}\qquad \rightarrow \qquad \text{divided both sides by}\ P_o\\\\\\ln\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)=800k\qquad \rightarrow \qquad \text{applied ln to both sides}\\\\\\\dfrac{ln(\frac{1}{2})}{800}=k\qquad \rightarrow \qquad \text{divided both sides by 800}\\\\\\\large\boxed{-0.000867=k}$

Next, input the information (65% decayed = 35% remaining) and the k-value to find your answer.

$.35P_o=P_oe^{-0.000867t}\\\\\\.35=e^{-0.000867t}\\\\\\ln(.35)=-0.000867t\\\\\\\dfrac{ln(.35)}{-0.000867}=t\\\\\\\large\boxed{1211.6585=t}$
