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.

What is the area of the figure?
xenn [34]

Answer:   17.5 square yards

================================================

Work Shown:

base = 5 yards

height = 7 yards

The base and height are always perpendicular to one another

area of triangle = 0.5*(base)*(height)

area of triangle = 0.5*(5)*(7)

area of triangle = 17.5 square yards

The other values aren't used. They're likely thrown in as a distraction.
