A landscape designer has to construct a rectangular flower bed with a perimeter of 100 feet and the maximum possible area. What
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
625 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The greatest area of a polygon with a given perimeter is that of a regular polygon. A regular rectangle is one that has all sides the same length -- a square. The side length of a square with 100 ft perimeter is 25 ft. The area of a square with such a side length is
A = (25 ft)² = 625 ft²
The maximum possible area is 625 ft².
__
In the attached, x is the length of one side. The area versus side length is plotted. The maximum is seen to be 625 ft² for a side length of 25 ft.

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>Given, Micah places a mirror on the ground 24 feet from the base of a tree
At that point, Micah's eyes are 6 feet above the ground
And he is 9 feet from the image in the mirror.
To find : height of tree = ?
Let "n" be the height of tree
From the question, we can see there is a directly proportional relationship between heights and distances.
Proportional relationships are relationships between two variables where their ratios are equivalent.
Hence, the height of the tree is 8 feet
