farmer joe is enclosing a rectangular area on his arm for his chicken with 200 feet of fencing that he recently acquired in a tr

ade. two equal lengths of fencing, of unknown length x ft, will run perpendicular to the side of the barn, and a single length of fencing of unknown length (200-2x) ft will run parallel to the side of the barn. to the nearest square foot, what is the maximum possible area that joe can enclose with his 200ft of fencing

For this case, the area is given by:
 A = x * (200-2x)
 Rewriting:
 A = 200x-2x ^ 2
 Deriving the expression we have:
 A '= 200-4x
 Equaling zero we have:
 200-4x = 0
 We clear x:
 4x = 200
 x = 200/4
 x = 50 feet
 Then, the maximum area is:
 A (50) = 50 * (200-2 * 50)
 A (50) = 5000 feet ^ 2
 Answer:
 
the maximum possible area that can be enclosed with his 200ft of fencing is:
 A
 (50) = 5000 feet ^ 2

I can’t figure this out at all.
Liula [17]
The fact that this triangle is a right angle triangle makes you now have 2 angles and the 1 side given, so it should be solvable.
First, You know that A=46 and C=90 as it is the right angle, and you know that the sum of any triangle's angles is 180. so now B=180-(90-46)=44
Now to the sides,
sin(B)=opp./hyp.=b/c=8/c=sin(44)
so, c=8/sin(44) which is approximately 11.52 unit length
now, use Pythagoras to find a,
a=√c²-b² =√11.52²-8² which is approximately 8.3 unit length.
Hope this helps.

Regular hexagon ABCDEF has vertices at A(4, 4!3), B(8, 4!3), C(10, 2!3), D(8, 0), E(4, 0) and F(2, 2!3).
marissa [1.9K]

Since the given hexagon is a regular hexagon all it's sides will be of equal length. Now, we know that the Area of any regular hexagon is given by:

A=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} a^2

Where A is the area of the regular hexagon

a is the side length of the regular hexagon

Also, it's Perimeter is given by:

P=6a

Thus, all that we need to do is to find the side length of any one of the sides and to do that let us have a look at at the data of vertices points given and find out which points are definitely adjacent to each other and are also easy to calculate.

A quick search will yield that D(8, 0) and E(4, 0) are definitely adjacent to each other.

Please check the attached file here for a better understanding of the diagram of the original regular hexagon. Points D and E indeed are adjacent to each other.

Let us now find the distance between the points D and E using the distance formula which is as:

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

Where d is the distance.

(x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) are the coordinates of points D and E respectively. (please note that interchanging the values of the coordinates will not alter the distance d)

Applying the above formula we get:

d=\sqrt{(8-4)^2+(0-0)^2} =\sqrt{4^2}=4

\therefore d=4

We know that this distance is the side length of the given regular hexagon.

\therefore d=a=4

Now, if the sides of the given regular polygon are reduced by 40%, then the new length of the sides will be:

a_{small}=4-\frac{40}{100}\times 4=2.4

Thus, the area of the smaller hexagon will be:

A_{small}=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} a_{small}^2=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} (2.4)^2\approx14.96 unit squared

and the new smaller perimeter will be:

P_{small}=6a_{small}=6\times 2.4=14.4 unit

Which are the required answers.
