<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>

Option D: The distance between the two points is 13 units

Explanation:

It is given that the two points are (-5,-2) and (8,-3)

We need to determine the distance between the two points.

It is also given that the distance between the two points can be determined using the formula,

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Substituting the points (-5,-2) and (8,-3) for the coordinates (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)

Thus, we get,

d=\sqrt{(8-(-5))^2+(-3-(-2))^2}

Simplifying, we have,

d=\sqrt{(8+5)^2+(-3+2)^2}

Adding the terms, we get,

d=\sqrt{(13)^2+(-1)^2}

Squaring the terms, we have,

d=\sqrt{169+1}

Adding the terms, we get,

d=\sqrt{170}

Simplifying and rounding off the value to the nearest tenth, we have,

d=13.0 \ units

Hence, the distance between the two points is 13 units.

Therefore, Option D is the correct answer.

The slope of the line below is -4. which of the following is the point-slope form of the line
MrMuchimi

Answer:

y - b = -4(x - a)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the line passes through (a, b), then the point-slope form of the equation of the line is y - b = -4(x - a).   Where's the line you mention?

If you start with Malvin’s age, take half of it, increase that result by 5, then divide by 3, and finally double that, you get 8
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

24 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Malvin's age be x.

  • x / 2
  • x / 2 + 5 = 5x / 10  [ By taking the L.C.M.]
  • ( 5x / 10 ) * ( 1 / 3 ) = 5x / 30   [ Multiply with the reciprocal of 3 ]
  • ( 5x / 30 ) * 2 = 5x / 15

Now let's solve the equation,

5x / 15 = 8

       5x = 8 * 15

       5x = 120

         x = 120 / 5

         x = 24

Therefore, Malvin is 24 years old.
