Patricia is building the community dog park. She plans to build the dog park right beside the city park so she can use one side

of the existing fence. Her budget allows her to purchase 340 feet of fencing. In order to make the area of the dog park as large as possible, determine the dimensions of the dog park if one side of the fence is attached to the city park’s fence.

Answer:

85 feet by 170 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This one relies on Calculus.

so you have 340   feet.

Let  x = width,   y = length of rectangle

one side of this rectangle will not use the new fence material

so  2x + y = 340 feet.

Area = x*y

We want to maximize  Area

Area  A = x*y = x*(340 - 2x)

Take the derivative of A  w.r.t.  x

dA/dx =  340 - 4x

set it to 0

340 - 4x = 0

4x = 340

x = 85 feet

and y = 340 - 2x = 340 - 2*85 = 340 - 170 = 170 feet

pshichka [43]
S = 180° ( n - 2 )
The equation for n is:
 n = s / 180°  + 2
 s = 1,260°
 n = ( 1,260° : 180° ) + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9
Answer:
A polygon has 9 sides.

MissTica

Answer:

1.95secs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height of the float expressed as h(t) = -16t2 - 3t + 55.

The floats reach the swimmer at h(t) = 0

Substitute

0 = -16t^2 - 3t + 55.

16t^2 + 3t - 55 = 0

Using the general formula;

t = -3±√3²-4(16)(-55)/2(16)

t = 3±√9+3520/32

t = 3±√3529/32

t = 3+59.41/32

t = 62.41/32

t = 1.95

Hence it will take 1.95secs

For a specific location in a particularly rainy city, the time a new thunderstorm begins to produce rain (first drop time) is un
ikadub [295]

Answer:

b) 0.0608

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is mentioned that the next two days i.e 24 hours, the probability of the rain is uniformly distributed

Therefore the rain probability is

= \frac{T}{24}

where,

T = Length of the time interval

Plus, as we know that rain is independent

So let us assume the rain between the 8: 40 AM and 2: 35 PM on single day is P1 and the time interval is 5 hours 55 minutes

i.e

= 5.91666 hours long.

So, P1 should be

= \frac{5.91666}{24}

= 0.2465

Now we assume the probability of rain on day 2 is P2

So it would be same  i.e 0.2465

Since these events are independent

So, the total probability is

= 0.2465 \times 0.2465

= 0.0608

Hence, the b option is correct

what do i write for this " Write a problem that requires adding 1 to the quotient when interpreting the remainder."
Mariana [72]
You should write a ( real world situation ) question that can only have whole numbers as a solution because you would divide and then you can not have a fraction left over so instead you add one. For instance there are 132 students going on a field trip. 20 students can fit on each bus. how many buses are needed? 7 because when you divide 132 by 20 you get 6 remainder 12. You can not just make 12 students walk to the location so you would add an extra bus.
