Answer:

The dimensions that would create the garden of maximum area are 30 feet and 15 feet

The maximum area is 450 feet²

Step-by-step explanation:

The garden is fencing for three sides only, That means the length of the fencing is equal to the sum of the length of the three sides

Assume that garden is y feet long and x feet wide and the fencing will cover on side of y feet and two sides of x feet

∵ The sum of the length of the 3 sides = y + x + x

∴ The sum of the length of the 3 sides = y + 2x

- The length of the fencing is equal to the sum of the sides

∵ The fencing is 60 feet

- Equate y + 2x by 60

∴ y + 2x = 60

- Find y in terms of x by subtracting 2x from both sides

∴ y = 60 - 2x

<em>To find the dimensions which make the maximum area, find the area of the garden, then substitute y by x, and differentiate it with respect to x, then equate the differentiation by 0 to find the value of x, and substitute this value in the equation of y to find y and in the equation of the area to find the maximum area</em>

∵ The formula of the area of a rectangle is A = l × w

∵ l = y and w = x

∴ A = x y

- Substitute the value of y above in A

∵ A = x(60 - 2x)

- Multiply bracket by x

∴ A = 60x - 2x²

Now differentiate x with respect to x

∵ A' = 60(1) - 2(2)x

∴ A' = 60 - 4x

- Equate A' by 0 to find x

∴ 0 = 60 - 4x

- Add 4x to both sides

∴ 4x = 60

- Divide both sides by 4

∴ x = 15

- Substitute the value of x in the equation of y to find it

∵ y = 60 - 2(15)

∴ y = 30

The dimensions that would create the garden of maximum area are 30 feet and 15 feet

To find the maximum area substitute x by 15 in the equation of the area

∵ A = 60(15) - 2(15)²

∴ A = 900 - 450

∴ A = 450

The maximum area is 450 feet²

Answer:

(2, 9)

x = 2

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this system, we can either use substitution or graph it. I will be showing how to graph it.

To solve by graphing, we graph both of the equations and find the point at which the lines intersect.

What are the answers
dlinn [17]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the secants is the same when set up as full length to external length.

Formula

MN/LN = QN/PN

Givens

LN = 22 + 14 = 36

MN = 14

PN = 32

QN = x

Solution

14/36 = x / (32)  Multiply both sides by 32

14*32 / 36 = x    Combine 14 and 32

448/36 = x         Divide by 36 and switch

x = 12.4

Answers

PN (External) = 13 is the closest answer

Length LN = 36
