Answer:

19 ft by 38 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Available fencing = 76 feets

Rectangular fencing with 3 sides

Let the 3 sides be :

x, x, y

x + x + y = 2x + y = 76

y = 76 - 2x

Area = x * y = xy

Area = (76 - 2x) * x

Area = 76x - 2x²

Take derivative of Area with respect to x ; dA

dA /dx = 76 - 4x = 0

76 - 4x = 0

-4x = - 76

x = 76 / 4

x = 19

2x + y = 76

2(19) + y = 76

38 + y = 76

y = 76 - 38

y = 38

Hence, dimension : 19feet by 38 feets

Find the distance between the points <br> (-8,-6) and (4, 10)
never [62]

Answer:

d=20

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between 2 points we use the distance formula

d = √(x2 - x1)²+(y2 - y1)²

The given points are (x1= -8, y1 = -6) and (x2 = 4, y2 = 10).

Substitute the given points into the distance formula.

d = √(4 + 8)²+(10 +6)²

d = √144+252

d= √400

d = 20

What is the slope or the line going through (0,0) (6,8) A: -6/8 B: -3/4 C: 3/4 D: 8/6
Vikentia [17]
<h3>Answer: D) 8/6</h3>

Start at (0,0). To get to the other point, you must move up 8 units and move to the right 6 units.

slope = rise/run = (change in y)/(change in x) = 8/6

Or you could use the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (8-0)/(6-0)

m = 8/6

Normally I would reduce, but your teacher has decided not to.

8/6 reduces to 4/3 when you divide both parts by 2.
