Answer:
570
step-by-step explanation:
assuming you're talking about a 2-dimensional rectangle,
Area = base x height
base = 38
width = 15
Area = 38 * 15
Area = 570 ft
570ft * (1 yard/3ft) = 190 yards
L1: 2x+4y-3=0 ..........(1)
P: (2,0)
The point on the line L1 closest to the given point P is at the intersection of L1 with L2, which is the perpendicular passing through P.
Slope of L1=-2/4=-1/2
Slope of L2=-1/(-1/2)=2
Since it passes throug P(2,0), we can use the point-slope formula:
(y-0)=2(x-2) =>
L2: 2x-y-4=0.............(2)
Solve for x & y using (1) and (2) to get intersection point required:
(1)-(2)
2x-2x + 4y-(-y) -3 -(-4) =0
5y=-1, y=-1/5
Substitute y=1/5 in equation (1)
2x+4(-1/5)-3=0 =>
2x-19/5=0
x=19/10
=> the point on L1 closest to (2,0) is (19/10, -1/5)
$11 an hour, because 82.5/7.5=11
