Answer:

625 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

P = 100 --- perimeter

Required

The largest area

The perimeter is calculated as:

P = 2 * ( L + W)

So, we have:

2 * ( L + W) = 100

Divide both sides by 2

L + W  = 50

Make  L the subject

L = 50 - W

The area is calculated as:

A= L * W

Substitute L = 50 - W

A= (50 - W) * W

Open bracket

A = 50W - W^2

Differentiate with respect to W

A' = 50 -2W

Set to 0; to get the maximum value of W

50 - 2W = 0

Collect like terms

-2W = -50

Divide by -2

W = 25

So, the maximum area is:

A = 50W - W^2

A = 50 * 25 - 25^2

A = 1250 - 625

A = 625

If person A earns $51000 more than person b. if total salaries are $304250. find salaries of a nd b
Dafna11 [192]
X + y = 304,250
x = y + 51,000

Plug in (y+51,000) for x into the first equation

y+51,000+y = 304,250
Subtract 51,000 from both sides.
2y = 253,250
y = 126,625

Plug y into second equation

x = 126,625 + 51,000
x =177,625

Person A : 177,625
Person B : 126,625
