Answer:

Length=10.5\ ft

Width=10.5\ ft

Area=110.25\ ft^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> the length of the rectangular garden

y---> the width of the rectangular garden

we know that

The perimeter of the rectangle is equal to

P=2(x+y)

we have

P=42\ ft

so

42=2(x+y)

simplify

21=(x+y)

y=21-x------> equation A

Remember that the area of rectangle is equal to

A=xy ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

A=x(21-x)

A=21x-x^{2}----> this is a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is a maximum

The y-coordinate of the vertex is the maximum area

The x-coordinate of the vertex is the length side of the rectangle that maximize the area

using a graphing tool

The vertex is the point (10.5,110.25)

see the attached figure

so

x=10.5\ ft

Find the value of y

y=21-10.5=10.5\ ft

The garden is a square

the area is equal to

A=(10.5)(10.5)=110.25\ ft^{2} ----> is equal to the y-coordinate of the vertex is correct

The same Honey is sold in two different size jars. Large jar= 540g for £4.10 Small jar= 360g for £2.81. By considering the amoun
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

From our calculations the large jar is the best value for money because a penny buys more honey

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>In this problem we are expected to determine which purchase of honey is the cheapest ? large jar or small jar ?.</h2><h2 />

We will determine which has the best value for money using the quantity a pound can purchase.  

firstly for the large jar.

if £4.10 will purchase 540g of honey then,

   £1.00 will purchase xg

cross multiplying to find x will have

x=  \frac{1.00*540g}{4.10}

x= 131.7grams

Hence for the large jar a penny would buy 131.7g of honey

secondly for the small jar

if £2.81 will purchase 360g of honey then,

   £1.00 will purchase xg

cross multiplying to find x will have

x=\frac{1.00*360g}{2.81}\\x= 128.1gram

Hence for the small jar a penny would buy 128.1g of honey

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct option is - C) fails to consider that commuting trips may cause significantly more than 20 percent of the traffic congestion

Reason -

Option A is incorrect because the statistics can not be incorrect.

Option B is incorrect because they are not talking about the city.

Option C is correct because Urban rail reduces congestion.

Option D is incorrect because the opposers cited the example of one city and the supporters are presenting evidence in the case of that city itself.

Option E is incorrect because they are providing an explanation for why the commuters data given by opposers is not relevant. The opposers talked about commuters.
