<em>Answer: h = 120 ft;    w = 80 ft </em>

<em></em>

<em>A = 9600 ft^2</em>

<em />

<em>Step-by-step explanation: Let h and w be the dimensions of the playground. The area is given by:</em>

<em></em>

<em>A = h*w   (eq1)</em>

<em></em>

<em>The total amount of fence used is:</em>

<em></em>

<em>L = 2*h + 2*w + w    (eq2)    (an extra distance w beacuse of the division)</em>

<em></em>

<em>Solving for w:</em>

<em></em>

<em>w = L - 2/3*h = 480 - 2/3*h   (eq3)  Replacing this into the area eq:</em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

<em>We derive this and equal zero to find its maximum:</em>

<em></em>

<em>   Solving for h:</em>

<em></em>

<em>h = 120 ft.  Replacing this into eq3:</em>

<em></em>

<em>w = 80ft</em>

<em></em>

<em>Therefore the maximum area is:</em>

<em></em>

<em>A = 9600 ft^2</em>

What's the equation to find the midpoint of a right triangle?
Viktor [21]
The answer is 20. You have to use the Pythagorean theorem (A^2+B^2=C^2) to find the length of the hypotenuse.

32^2+24^2=C^2
1024+576=C^2
1600=C^2
Take the square root of both sides
40=C
Since the midpoint is the middle, you divide the length of the hypotenuse by 2 and get the answer (20)

The answer is 3. If you find the unit rate of white to blue paint and multiply it by 4.5 it would come out to 3.000007 or something minute like that.

The perimeter of square is 76 cm find are of square ​
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Given the information above, the area of the square is 361 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

A square is a shape with four equal sides. So, in order to find the area of the square, we must find the length of each individual side. We can do this by dividing the perimeter by 4 because a square has 4 equal sides meaning they have the same lengths.

The perimeter of the square is 76. So, let's divide 76 by 4.

76 ÷ 4 = 19

So, the lengths of each sides in the square is 19cm.

In order to find the area, we must multiply the length and the width together. Since a square has equal sides, then we will multiply 19 by 19 to get the area.

19 × 19 = 361

So, the area of the square is 361 cm²
