The answer would be 59.111
Suppose the dimensions of the rectangle is x by y and let the side enclosed by a house be one of the sides measuring x, then the sides that is to be enclosed are two sides measuring y and one side measuring x.
Thus, the length of fencing needed is given by
P = x + 2y
The area of the rectangle is given by xy,
i.e.
Substituting for y into the equation for the length of fencing needed, we have
For the amount of fencing to be minimum, then
Now, recall that
Thus, the length of fencing needed is given by
P = x + 2y = 24 + 2(12) = 24 + 24 = 48.
Therefore, 48 feets of fencing is needed to enclose the garden.
Answer: 2.11cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
The lengths of the parallel sides are (2z + 3) cm and (6z – 1) cm
The area of trapezoid is calculated using the formula:
1/2(a + b) × h
Where ;
a = Length of side 1
b = length of side 2
h = height
Take a = (2z + 3) and b = (6z – 1), h = z
Therefore ;
1/2 (2z + 3 + 6z - 1) × z
Opening the bracket
(z + 1.5 + 3z - 0.5) × z
(4z + 1 ) × z = 20cm^2
4z^2 + z = 20cm^2
Using Quadratic formula:
4z^2 + z - 20 = 0
a = 4, b = 1, c = - 20
(-b±√b^2 -4ac) / 2a
Z = 2.11 or - 2.364
z cannot be negative, therefore,
Z = 2.11 cm
It has C. Rotational.... 180 degree rotational symmetry
