If you use a distributive or multiply is all kind a same
The two enclosures will need three equal fences coming out from the wall and meeting another fence running parallel to the wall. If the fences coming out from the wall are x metres long the parallel fence will be (132 - 3x) metres long.
The area A = x(132 - 3x) = 132x - 3x^2
The derivative of A = zero when 132 - 6x = 0 which means the maximum area is when x = 22m
The maximum area = 22 x (132 - 3 x 22) = 1452 m^2
If you don’t know how to find derivatives then you could sketch the graph of y = x(132 - 3x).
This is an inverted parabola (hill) with x intercepts at 0 and 132/3 = 44.
The maximum point (top of the hill) is halfway between 0 and 44 I.e. 22m
Try any other value for x and the area will be smaller.
It goes on forever basically, as it can't be expressed as a fraction.
Ah yes, good ol’ Pythagorean’s theorem.
The hypotenuse is the opposite of the 90 degree angle, the longest side of the triangle.
The legs are opposite of the acute angles
Formula: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
2:
Let’s plug in some values
(6)^2 + (3)^2 = c^2
C = 6.7
The side will be 6.7 units
3)
Let’s plug in some values
(13.3)^2 = (9.7)^2 + (b)^2
(13.3)^2 - (9.7)^2 = b^2
176.89 - 94.09 = b^2
b = 9.1
The side will be 9.1 units
The answer will come out to 30.2
