Answer:

  1000 m of fence can make a 3-sided enclosure of 125,000 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of fence parallel to the river. Then the perpendicular dimension is ...

  width = (1000 -x)/2

and the enclosed area is ...

  area = length×width = (x)(1000 -x)/2

This describes a downward-opening parabola with zeros at x=0 and x=1000. The vertex (maximum) is halfway between, at x=500.

Then the maximum area is ...

  area = (500)(1000 -500)/2 = 125,000 . . . . square meters

20% of dash is equal to 140M
AlexFokin [52]

ANSWER: The length of the entire dash is 700 meters.

EXPLANATION:

Because 20% of the dash equals 140 meters, we can use a variable to figure out the length of the entire dash.

Let x be the length of the entire dash.

.2x = 140\\\\x = 700

The length of the entire dash is 700 meters.

What is the equation in point slope form of the line passing through (0,5) and (-2,11)
IRISSAK [1]

The equation of the line passing through (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is

\frac{x-x_1}{y-y_1} =\frac{x_2-x_1}{y_2-y_1}. Here

\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} is the slope of the line.

Substituting numerical values, the equation of the line is

\frac{x-0}{y-5} =\frac{-2-0}{11-5} \\ \frac{x}{y-5} =-\frac{1}{3} \\ 3x=5-y\\ 3x+y=5

The equation of the line is 3x+y=5
