The answer is 34%
30+33%=39.9
So round up two 34%
I hope that is right but I think the answer is 34%
Let the lengths of the sides of the rectangle be x and y. Then A(Area) = xy and 2(x+y)=300. You can use substitution to make one equation that gives A in terms of either x or y instead of both.
2(x+y) = 300
x+y = 150
y = 150-x
A=x(150-x) <--(substitution)
The resulting equation is a quadratic equation that is concave down, so it has an absolute maximum. The x value of this maximum is going to be halfway between the zeroes of the function. The zeroes of the function can be found by setting A equal to 0:
0=x(150-x)
x=0, 150
So halfway between the zeroes is 75. Plug this into the quadratic equation to find the maximum area.
A=75(150-75)
A=75*75
A=5625
So the maximum area that can be enclosed is 5625 square feet.
-m-4=-13
-m=-13+4=-9
m=9
