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.

Solution
The table below is the required sample space of the to fair die
From the above table
The sample space contain 36 outcomes
Event A: The sum is greater than 9
we will look at the table and count all the elements that are greater than 9
There are 6 elements (they are 10, 10, 10, 11, 11, 12 from the table)
The probability for event A will be
P(A) = 1/6
Event B: The sum is an even number.
We will look at the table and count the number of elements that are even
There are 18 elements (notice that there are 3 even number on each of the 6 rows of the table)
The probability for event B will be
p(B) = 1/2
