Answer:
243 in.²
Step-by-step explanation:
A = bh
⇒ A = 13.5 × 18 = 243
Answer:
66 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
By equating the area we get x = 6.
Answer:
4 inches should be turned up on both sides.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find this, create a situation in which we give the amount turned up on each side as x. Then give the amount that isn't turned up as 16 - 2x (since 2x is the amount turned up). Now we can find the area by multiplying the 3 measurements.
100 * x * (16 - 2x) = MAX
100 * (16x - 2x^2) = MAX
-200x^2 + 1600x = MAX
Now that we have a quadratic function, we can find the maximum value of x by using the vertex formula for x values (-b/2a).
x = -b/2a
x = -1600/2(-200)
x = -1600/-400
x = 4
