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:
y =
Step-by-step explanation:
Given y varies directly with x then the equation relating them is
y = kx ← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition y = 5 when x = 6
k = =
y = x ← equation of variation
When x = 5, then
y = × 5 =
Answer:
<em>1. </em><em>B. $20</em>
<em>2.</em><em>C. 19%</em>
<em>3. </em>D. not here
Step-by-step explanation:
1. info we know
25+45+10+25+15+10 = 130
we need 20 more dollars
2. 25/130 x/100
cross multiply
2500/ 130x
divide
19 = x
3. same steps as last time
35/130 x/100
3500/130x
29%
