Perimeter: P=62 feet
P=2(b+h)
62=2(b+h)
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
62/2=2(b+h)/2
31=b+h
b+h=31 (1)
Area: A=bh (2)
Isolating h in equation (1)
(1) b+h=31→b+h-b=31-b→h=31-b (3)
Replacing h by 31-b in equation (2)
(2) A=bh
A=b(31-b)
A=31b-b^2
To maximize the area:
A'=0
A'=(A)'=(31b-b^2)'=(31b)'-(b^2)'=31-2b^(2-1)→A'=31-2b
A'=0→31-2b=0
Solving for b:
31-2b+2b=0+2b
31=2b
Dividing both sides by 2:
31/2=2b/2
31/2=b
b=31/2=15.5
Replacing b by 31/2 in equation (3)
h=31-b
h=31-31/2
h=(2*31-31)/2
h=(62-31)/2
h=31/2
The dimensions are 31/2 ft x 31/2 ft = 15.5 ft x 15.5 ft
The area with these dimensions is: A=(15.5 ft)(15.5 ft)→A=240.25 ft^2
These dimensions are not in the options
1) The first option has an area of: A=(18 ft)(13 ft)→A=234 ft^2
2) The second option has an area of: A=(19 ft)(12 ft)→A=228 ft^2
3) The third option has an area of: A=(17 ft)(14 ft)→A=238 ft^2
The third option has the largest area.
Answer: Third option
Answer: The equation for line b is 
The equation for line t is 
The attachment shows the original line in green, the parallel line b in red, and the perpendicular line t in blue.
Step-by-step explanation: Use slope intercept form, y = mx + b
The given coordinate, (0,5) is on the y-axis, so 5 will be the y-intercept of the equation. Keep the slope of the original equation and substitute the new value for "b"
To write the equation for line t
Both lines share the y-intercept, (0,5) so the "b" term will be the same. The slope of a perpendicular line is the reciprocal of the original slope with the opposite sign.
So invert 3/4 to become 4/3 and change the negative sign to positive.
The resulting equation is y = 4x/3 + 5
Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3 is the same as 3/9 (multiply 3 to both numerator and denominator) 3/9+3/9 is 6/9. 6/9 can be simplified by dividing 3 to both sides to get 2/3.
