Answer:
525 x 1,050
A = 551,250 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'L' be the length parallel to the river and 'S' be the length of each of the other two sides.
The length of the three sides is given by:
The area of the rectangular plot is given by:
The value of 'S' for which the area's derivate is zero, yields the maximum total area:
Solving for 'L':
The largest area enclosed is given by dimension of 525 m x 1,050 and is:
The slope of a line perpendicular to another line has a
slope which is the negative reciprocal of that line or:
m1 = -1/m2
First, we convert the given equation into slope-intercept
form of a line: y = mx + b
8x + 15y = 12
15y = -8x + 12
y = (-8/15) x + 0.8
m1 = -8 / 15
Therefore the slope of the perpendicular line is:
m2 = 15 / 8
Since the perpendicular line crosses the point (11, 17), therefore
using the slope formula:
m = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1)
15 / 8 = (y2 – 17) / (x2 – 11)
1.875 (x2 – 11) = y2 – 17
1.875 x2 – 20.625 = y2 – 17
y2 = 1.875 x2 – 3.625
y = (15/8) x – 3.625
multiplying both sides by 8:
8y = 15x – 29
rewriting in standard form:
