Answer:
Assuming the slide is straight - 12 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the slide is straight - it creates a right triangle with long side 13 feet and one of the short sides of 5 feet. We need to find the other short side.
We know that:
Answer:
x = - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x + 1) = - 2(x - 1) - 4 ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
3x + 3 = - 2x + 2 - 4
3x + 3 = - 2x - 2 ( add 2x to both sides )
5x + 3 = - 2 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
5x = - 5 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = - 1

Let x be the shorter side, and y be the longer side
There would be 4 fences along the shorter side, and 2 fences along the longer side
4x + 2y = 800
Rewrite in terms of y:
y = 400 − 2x
The area of the rectangular field is
A = x*y
Replace Y with the equation above:
A = x(400 − 2x)
A = − 2x^2 + 400x
The area is a parabola that opens downward, the maximum area would occur at the parabola vertex.
At the vertex
x = −b/2a
= −400/[2(−2)]
= 100
y = 400 −2x
y = 400 -2(100)
y = 400-200
y = 200
The dimension of the rectangular field that maximize the enclosed area is 100 ft x 200 ft.
