A farmer is building a fence to enclose a rectangular area against an existing wall. Three of the sides will require fencing and the fourth side is a wall that already exists. If the farmer has 148 feet of fencing, what is the largest area the farmer can enclose?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several things we need to know to solve this: the perimeter formula of a rectangle, the area formula of a rectangle, and how to complete the square to find the answer. First of all, if the farmer has 148 feet of fencing to enclose 3 sides of a rectangle, the perimeter formula we need will include only 3 sides, the 2 widths and the 1 length:

P = 2w + l; solving for l and filling in our length of fencing gives us:

l = 148 - 2w

The area then for this will be:

A = (148 - 2w)(w) which is the same thing as length times width (area for a rectangle). Multiplying that out gives us:

[tex]A=148w-2w^2[/tex]. Let's rearrange that and put it into descending order so we can complete the square on it:

[tex]A=-2w^2+148w[/tex]

The reason we want to complete the square is because the answer that results from that will give us the dimensions of the rectangle (the width and the length) and also the area. Completing the square maximizes (or minimizes) area.

To complete the square, first factor out the -2 since the leading coefficient when you complete the square has to be a +1. When we do that we get:

[tex]A=-2(w^2-74w)[/tex]. Set it equal to 0 so we can factor it:

[tex]-2(w^2-74w)=0[/tex]

The idea now is to take half the linear term (the term stuck to the w), divide it in half, then square that number. Our linear term is 74. Half of 74 is 37, and 37 squared is 1369. So we add 1369 to both sides, the left side first:

[tex]-2(w^2-74w+1369)=...[/tex]

But we didn't just add in 1369. There's a -2 out front there that refuses to be ignored. It's a multiplier. What we ACTUALLY added in was -2 times 1369 which is -2738; therefore:

[tex]-2(w^w-74w+1369)=-2738[/tex]

The left side can be simplified down to a perfect square binomial:

[tex]-2(w-37)^2=-2738[/tex]

Now we'll add over the -2738:

[tex]-2(w-37)^2+2738=y[/tex] and from there determine our answer. The (w-37) term is the width of the rectangle; therefore, the length is 148 - 2(37) which is 74; the total area if the 2738. Completing the square gives us the vertex form of the parabola; the vertex is (37, 2738) where 37 is the width of the rectangle and 2738 is the max area.

The radius of a circle is changing at the rate of 1/π inches per second. At what rate, in square inches per second, is the circle’s area changing when the radius is 5 inches?

Answers

Answer:

formula for the area A of a circle in terms of its radius r:

    A = πr2

It is important to remember that both r, and hence, A are functions of time, t.  Take the derivative of both sides with respect to t and obtain

    dA/dt = 2πr(dr/dt)

Note that we are using implicit differentiation here, since A and r are (implicit) functions of t.  Now we can find the required answers.

r = 5 inches.

Substitute r = 5 and dr/dt = 3 to get

    dA/dt = 2π5·3 = 30π ≅ 95.25

(the units are in2/min.)

r = 22 inches

    dA/dt = 2π22·3 = 132π ≅ 414.69

Find the circumference of each hole. Use 3.14 as an approximation for .
A 128 millimeters
B 131.88 millimeters
C 120 millimeters
D 42 millimeters

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference is just diameter x π (3.14 in this case) so 42 x 3.14 = 131.88

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

the circumference of a circle is

2×pi×r

with r being the radius (half the diameter).

2r is then the diameter.

so, in our case the circumference is

42×pi = 42 × 3.14 = 131.88 mm

What is Volume?

In mathematics, Space occupied by three dimensional objects is called Volume. Basically it is a space within closed region of  every three dimensional objects.

In given problem, we have two rectangular prisms

One has sides (1 feet, 3  feet, 3  feet)

Another one has sides (2 feet, 7 feet, 7 feet)

Volume of a rectangular prism  = Length×Height×Width

Volume of a rectangular prism 1  = 3×1×3 = 9

Volume of a rectangular prism 2  = 7×2×7 = 98

Total Volume = 107

Hence, Total dirt required  107 cubic feet

A 32 ft board is cut into three pieces at a sawmill. The second piece is 5 ft longer than the first and the third piece is 1 ft longer than the second.
What are the lengths of the three pieces?

Answers

Answer:

The first piece is 7 ft long, the second piece is 12 ft long, and the third piece is 13 ft long

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the first piece.

Since the second piece is 5 ft longer than the first, it can be represented by x + 5

Since the third piece is 1 ft longer than the second, it can be represented by x + 6

Create an equation that adds all of these terms up to 32, and solve for x

(x) + (x + 5) + (x + 6) = 32

3x + 11 = 32

3x = 21

x = 7

So, the first piece is 7 ft long.

Using the expressions we created, solve for the lengths of the second and third pieces.

x + 5

7 + 5 = 12

x + 6

7 + 6 = 13

The first piece is 7 ft long, the second piece is 12 ft long, and the third piece is 13 ft long

Paula kitten weighs 3 1/2 pounds write this weight in the boxes using pounds and ounces.

Answers

Answer:

Step by step explanation

First, we have to convert 3 1/2 into a decimal, so we have to do the following:

1/2 = 1 divided by 2 3 1/2 = 3 + (1÷2) = 0.5 (1 ÷ 2 done by long division)

Then we add the whole number.

3 + 0.5 = 3.5

Next, we multiply

3.5 x 16 = 56 ounces.

Answer:

3 pounds and 8 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

1 pound (lbs) = 16 ounces (oz)

Using both pounds and ounces, the problem is asking us to eliminate the decimal and substitute it for the number of ounces (a smaller unit than pounds)

So we know it is 3 pounds, but what is half a pound equal to in terms of ounces?

Remember 1 lb = 16 oz, so 1/2 of a lb = half of 16 oz

Half of 16 (or 16 ÷ 2) equals 8

Therefore, half a pound equals 8 ounces

Combining the two units together means the boxes weigh 3 pounds and 8 ounces
