The largest possible area for a given amount of material enclosing a rectangle will always be a perfect square with each side being one quarter of the amount of material.

The proof is:

M=2x+2y, solve for y

y=(M-2x)/2

A=xy, and using y from above...

A=(Mx-2x^2)/2

dA/dx=(M-4x)/2

d2A/dx2=-2

Since acceleration is always negative, when velocity is zero, it will be at an absolute maximum for A(x)

dA/dx=0 when M-4x=0, 4x=M, x=M/4

So the maximum area occurs when x=M/4, and from earlier:

y=(M-2x)/2  then use x=M/4 in this and get:

y=(M-M/2)/2

y=(2M-M)/4=M/4  so x=y=M/4, a perfect square.

So for your particular example...

M=2x+2y and M=100

100=2x+2y

50=x+y

y=50-x

Now:

A=xy, using y found above...

A=50x-x^2

dA/dx=50-2x

d2A/dx2=-2  so an absolute maximum occurs when dA/dx=0

dA/dx=0 when 50-2x=0, 2x=50, x=25...

and from earlier, y=50-x, using x from above y=50-25=25

so y=x=25

So the maximum area with 100 feet of fencing is 25^2=625ft^2

I believe that 25*25=625 and that is the biggest area

Step-by-step explanation:

3 / 2 = 1.5 radius

1.5²x π x 10 = 22.5 π = volume

22.5 π x 9/10 = 20.25π of water

The image represents a rectangular patio that has a length equal to 4 feet more than the width. What is the perimeter of the pat
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

  4w+8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides. Since opposite sides are identical in length, it can be computed as double the sum of adjacent side lengths. Here, the lengths are in feet.

  P = 2(L+W)

  P = 2((w+4) +w)

  P = 4w +8

The perimeter of the patio is 4w+8 feet.
