Let x be the shorter side, and y be the longer side

 

There would be 4 fences along the shorter side, and 2 fences along the longer side

4x + 2y = 800

Rewrite in terms of y:

y = 400 − 2x

 

The area of the rectangular field is

A = x*y

Replace Y with the equation above:

  A = x(400 − 2x)

  A = − 2x^2 + 400x

 

The area is a parabola that opens downward, the maximum area would occur at the parabola vertex.

At the vertex

x = −b/2a

  = −400/[2(−2)]

  = 100

 

y = 400 −2x

y = 400 -2(100)

y = 400-200

y = 200

 

The dimension of the rectangular field that maximize the enclosed area is 100 ft x 200 ft.

The smaller triangle is a dilation of the larger triangle with a center of dilation at (2,−1) .
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Option B. 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller triangle is a dilation of the larger triangle with the center of dilation at (2, -1).

we have to calculate the scale factor of the dilation.

One point of the large triangle is (-4, -1). After dilation it has become (-1, -1) of the smaller one.

If we consider the x coordinates of the point x = -4 has reduced down to -1 therefore scale factor = side of small triangle/side of the large triangle = (2 + 1)/(2 + 4) = 3/6 = 1/2

Therefore Option B. 1/2 is the answer.
