Answer:

31,250 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of fence parallel to the river. Then the ends of the rectangle will have dimesion (500-x)/2, and the total area will be ...

... A = x(500-x)/2

This function describes a parabola with zeros at x=0 and x=500. The vertex (maximum) will be located halfway between these, at x=250.

The maximum size pen has area ...

... A = 250(500 -250)/2 = 31,250 . . . . sq ft

Answer:

  (b)  60°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of angles in a pentagon is 540°, so you have ...

Assume that a chocolate bar consists of n squares arranged in a rectangular pattern. The entire bar, a smaller rectangularpieceo
motikmotik

Step-by-step explanation:

Claim:

it takes n - 1 number of breaks to break the bar into n separate squares for all integers n.

Basic case -> n = 1

The bar is already completely broken into pieces.

Case -> n ≥ 2

Assuming that assertion is true for all rectangular bars with fewer than n squares. Break the bar into two pieces of size k and n - k where 1 ≤ k < n

The bar  with k squares requires k − 1 breaks and the bar with n − k squares

requires n − k − 1 breaks.

So the original bar requires  1 + (k−1) + (n−k−1) breaks.

simplifying yields,

1 + k − 1 + n − k − 1

1 - 1 + n - 1

n - 1

Therefore, we proved as we claimed that it takes n - 1 breaks to break the bar into n separate squares.

HELP DUE IN 10 MINS!<br><br> x =??
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Secants ad Segments Theorem we can say;

(x + 7) (7) = (15 + 6) (6)

7x + 49 = (21) (6)

7x + 49 = 126

7x = 77

x = 11

Hope this helps!
