A rectangular field is to be enclosed by a fence and divided

Mathematics
1 answer:
Phantasy [73]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

80000 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter + dividing fence = 800

let a = length

let b = width

let c = length of dividing fence

perimeter = 2*a + 2*b

let's say...

c is the same as the length

2a + 2b + c = 800

2a + 2b + a = 800

3a + 2b = 800

area = length*width

area = a*b

area / b = a

3*(area/b) + 2b = 800

3*(area/b) = 800 - 2b

area/b = (800 - 2b)

area = (800 - 2b)*b

To make the area large, we make the right hand side large.

800b - 2b^2

If you put in terms of x, y it looks like a downward opening parabola, so the max area is at the vertex. Half way between the roots.

y = -2x^2 + 800x

y = -x^2 + 400x

0 = x*(-x + 400)

roots are x= 0 and x = 400

vertex is at x, aka b = 200

area at b=200 is (800 - 400)*200 = 80000

and a is area/b... 80000/400 = 200

In a​ film, a character is criticized for marrying a woman when he is three times her age. He wittily​ replies, "Ah, but in 25ye
Sonbull [250]

Answer:age of the man: 75 age of the woman:25

Step-by-step explanation:

First, We need to define the variables

x: age of the man

y: age of the woman

at the first time he has three times her age

x=3y                (1)

in 25 years time

(x+25)=2(y+25)                 (2)

we clear the equation

X+25=2y+50

X=2y+25

we substitute in the (1) equation:

2y+25=3y

y=25

x=3*25=75
