Let each side perpendicular to the river be "x".Then the side parallel to the river is "400-2x".
The formula for Area = width*length
A(x) = x(400-2x)
A(x) = 400x - 2x^2
You have a quadratic with a = -2 and b = 400
Maximum Area occurs where x = -b/2a = -400/(2*-2) = 100 ft. (width)
length = 400-2x = 400-2*100 = 200 ft (length)
in this problem what you are really looking for is which of these sets is a pathagorean triple. That means it will solve the pathagorean theorem. (a sqaured + b squared = c squared) c is always going to be the largest number or the hypotenuse. if you plug all the number sets into the theorem, only one works and that is 7, 24, 25 which is your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:
The Answer Is
-4d + 7 = 3d
So, 7 = 3d + 4d
Then, 7 = 7d
•d = 7/7
= 1
So D = 1.
