<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>

A training field is formed by joining a rectangle and two semicircles, as shown below. The rectangle is 89m long and 70m wide.
Sindrei [870]

Step One

Find the area of the rectangle

Area = L * W

Area = 89 cm * 70 cm

Area = 6230 cm^2

Step Two

What is the formula for the two end semicircles?

Two semicircles = 1 whole circle

Area of any circle = pi * r^2

Step Three

Find the area of the circle

r = the width / 2     This may not be true. You need the diagram. If the circles are drawn on the length then use r = the length / 2

r = 70/2  = 35 cm

Area of circle = pi * r^2

Area of circle = 3.14 * 35^2

Area of circle = 3846.5

Step Four

Find the total area

The total area = Area of the rectangle + area of circle

The total area = 6230 + 3846.5

The total area = 10076.5 cm^2 <<<< Answer

Solve the equation 5*e^x=15.76
liq [111]
Divide both sides by 5

e^x=3.152  take the natural log of both sides...

x=ln(3.152)

x≈1.148
