Corresponding sides in the triangles MOP and MNQ are
MO and MN,
OP and NQ,
PM and QM.
Ratios of the corresponding sides for similar triangles should be the same.
MQ/MP =MN/MO
MQ/(MQ+QP) = MN/(MN+NO)
5/(5+x) = 6/(6+18/5)
5*(6+18/5)=6(5+x)
30+18 = 30 +6x
18=6x
x=3 =QP
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.
Answer:
-200%, -2, and -2. those are the answers in order
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
8 plus 9 plus 10 equals 27. so 8 is the smallest.
