Answer:

1170450 yd^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing is to calculate the necessary perimeter, which would be like this:

2 * a + b = 3060

if we solve for b, we are left with:

b = 3060-2 * a

Now for the area it would be:

A = a * b = a * (3060-2 * a )

A = 3060 * a -2 * a ^ 2

To maximize the area, we calculate the derivative with respect to "a":

dA / da = d [3060 * a -2 * a ^ 2

]/gives

dA / day = 3060 - 4 * a

If we equal 0:

0 = 3060 - 4 * a

4 * a = 3060

a = 3060/4

a = 765 and d

Therefore b:

b = 3060 - 2 * a = 3060 - 1530 = 1530

A = a * b

A = 765 * 1530

A = 1170450 and d ^ 2

A side of the triangle below has been extended to form an exterior angle of 132 degrees. Find the value of x.
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

48°

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠x plus 132° equals 180°, so x equals 180 minus 132, or 48°.

Why would "-7" in the expression (x^2+3)-(x-7) become positive?
ryzh [129]
You would use the distributive property with the negative. So the second x becomes negative, but since the 7 is already negative it becomes positive. Think of it as if you put the two dashes together you can make a plus sign.
