<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>

Answer:

there were 200 children and 500 adults at the show

Step-by-step explanation:

7x+10y=6400

x+y=700

x=700-y

7(700-y)+10y=6400

4900-7y+10y=6400

-7y+10y=1500

3y=1500

y=500

x=700-y

x=700-500

x=200

What is the length of angle EF in the right triangle below
salantis [7]

Answer:

E.  √180

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (c = hypotenuse, a and b are legs)

a^2 = c^2 - b^2

a^2 = 18^2 - 12^2

a^2 = 324 - 144

a^2 = 180

a = √180

Answer

E.  √180
