A rectangular plot of farmland will be bounded on one side by a river and on the other three sides by a single-strand electric fence. With 2500 m of wire at your disposal, what is the largest area you can enclose, and what are its dimensions?

, ,

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter covered by the electric fence in meters is:

The area of the rectangle is:

Let differentiate the previous equation and equates to zero:

The critical point is:

By the Second Derivative Text, it is proved that critical point lead to a maximum:

The other side of the rectangle is:

The largest area than can be enclosed is:

The dimensions of the triangle are:

answer: 42

use a calculator to find that 845/73 = 11.575

the whole part of the answer is 11. multiply this by 73 to get 11*73 = 803.

subtract that result from 845 to get 845 - 803 = 42

24

step-by-step explanation:

if it takes 8 pounds to make 12 divide 12 by 8 and you get 1.5, 1.5 x 16 = 24
