For the largest area, half the fence is used parallel to the river, and the other half is used for the two ends of the rectangular space.
The dimensions are 475 m by 237.5 m.
_____
Let x represent the length along the river. Then the area (A) is found as
.. A = x*(950 -x)/2
This equation describes a parabola with its vertex (maximum) halfway between the zeros of x=0 and x=950. That is, the maximum area is achieved when half the fence is used parallel to the river.
M=Y2-Y1/X2-X1
M= 1250-1625/4-2.5
M=841.25
But I have no clue how you would graph that
<span>We let x be the length and y be the width of the rectangle. Then,
Perimeter = 2x + 2y
100 = 2x + 2y
50 = x + y
y = 50 - x
Area = xy
A = x(50 - x)
A = 50x - x^2
We then take the derivative; set it equal to zero:
A ' = 50 - 2x
0 = 50 - 2x
2x = 50
x = 25
y = 50 - x
y = 50 - 25
y = 25
Therefore, the dimensions are 25 and 25.</span>
Answer:
The formula for the volume of a prism is V=Bh , where B is the base area and h is the height. The base of the prism is a rectangle. The length of the rectangle is 9 cm and the width is 7 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
1)Write down the formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism. The formula is simply V = length * width * height.
2)Find the length.
3)Find the width.
4)Find the height.
5)Multiply the length, the width, and the height.
6)State your answer in cubic units.
