An enclosed area is designed using one existing wall, and 72m of fence material. What is the maximum area of the enclosure?

Mathematics

Lunna [17]2 years ago

Answer:

The maximum area possible is 648 squared meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the existing wall be \ell.

And let the width of the fence be w.

The area of the enclosure will be given by:

A=w\ell

Since the area is bounded by one existing wall, the perimeter (the 72 meters of fencing material) will only be:

72=2w+\ell

We want to maximize the area.

From the perimeter, we can subtract 2<em>w</em> from both sides to obtain:

\ell=72-2w

Substituting this for our area formula, we acquire:

A=w(72-2w)

This is now a quadratic. Recall that the maximum value of a quadratic always occurs at its vertex.

We can distribute:

A=-2w^2+72w

Find the vertex of the quadratic. Using the vertex formula, we acquire that:

\displaystyle w=-\frac{b}{2a}=-\frac{(72)}{2(-2)}=18

So, the maximum area is:

A=-2(18)^2+72(18)=648\text{ meters}^2

Select the postulate or theorem that you can use to conclude that the triangles are similar.
insens350 [35]

Answer: SAS similarity postulate

Step-by-step explanation:

According to SAS postulate of similarity, two triangles are called similar if two sides in one triangle are in the same proportion to the corresponding sides in the other, and the included angle are congruent.

In triangles, QNR and MNP,

\frac{QN}{MN} = \frac{QM+MN}{MN} = \frac{10+8}{8} = \frac{18}{8} = \frac{9}{4}

\frac{NR}{NP} = \frac{NP+NR}{NP} = \frac{10+8}{8} = \frac{18}{8} = \frac{9}{4}

\implies \frac{QN}{MN} = \frac{NR}{NP}

Also,

\angle QNR\cong \angle MNP  (Reflexive)

Thus, By SAS similarity postulate,

\triangle QNR\sim\triangle MNP

⇒ Option first is correct.
