The owner of the Rancho Bar X wishes to use 2400 yards of fencing to enclose a rectangular piece of grazing land along the strai

ght portion of a river and then subdivide it into two parts by means of a piece of fencing perpendicular to the riverbank. No fencing is required along the river. What is the largest area that can be enclosed and what are its dimensions

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length be x and breadth be y .

Along the river no fencing is required so total boundary line of the rectangular land = x + y + y = x + 2y

add divider to it so total length

= x + 2y + y = x + 3y

x + 3y = 2400

area A = xy

y ( 2400 - 3y ) = A

2400y - 3y² = A

For maximum area dA / dy = 0

2400 - 6y = 0

y = 400 yards.

x = 1200 yards

largest area = xy

= 48000 sq yards.

A plot of land has been surveyed for a new housing development with borders AB, BC, DC, and DA. The plot of land is a right trap
sdas [7]

Answer:

m∠ABC = 119° and DC = 105 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

For better understanding of the solution see the attached figure of the trapezium ABCD :

m∠BCD = 61°

By using the property, Sum of interior opposite angles in a trapezium is supplementary ⇒ m∠BCD + m∠ABC = 180°

⇒ m∠ABC = 180° - 61°

⇒ m∠ABC = 119°

Now, to find length of DC,

Draw a perpendicular BE on CD ⇒ CD = DE + EC

AB = DE

⇒ DE = 80 feet

In ΔBEC, By using Pythagoras theorem

EC² = BC² - BE²

⇒ EC² = 65² - 60²

⇒ EC = 25 feet

Hence, DC = 80 + 25

                   = 105 feet
