Answer:
A. 9 sqrt 2
Explanation:
Plug in hypotenuse and given side into
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 and solve.
Answer:
The correct option is B. The area of the figure is 40.4 units².
Step-by-step explanation:
The line AB divides the figure in two parts one is a rectangle and another is semicircle.
The distance formula is

The length of AB is

The length of AD is

Since AB=AD, therefore ABCD is a square. The area of the of square is

The area of square is 29 units².
The area of a semicircle is

Since AB is the diameter of the semicircle, therefore the radius of the semicircle is

The area of the semicircle is

The area of the figure is

Therefore the area of the figure is 40.4 units². Option B is correct.
There are 2 short sides x and 1 long side y.
x+x+y=1,800
2x+y=1,800
y=1,800-2x
The area of the rectangle is A=x(1,800-x).
A is a function with variable x. Moreover it is a quadratic (second degree) function.
The graph of the function is a parabola which opens downwards, because the signs of the leading coefficients of the factors, multiply to minus:
(x)(-x)=-x^2.
This means that the highest point of the parabola, is its vertex V(h,k), so the function takes its largest value for x=h.
The roots of A=x(1,800-x) are x=0 and x=1,800, thus the x coordinate of the vertex, must be the midpoint of 0 and 1,800, that is 900.
Answer:
A=x(1,800-x)
largest area is when x=900
