The greatest area he can fence is 64 ft².
In order to maximize area and minimize perimeter, we use dimensions that are as close to equivalent as possible. 32 feet of fence for 4 sides gives us 8 feet of fence per side. We would have a square whose side length is 8; the area would be 8*8 = 64.
It has not been indicated whether the figure in the questions is a triangle or a quadrilateral. Irrespective of the shape, this can be solved. The two possible shapes and angles have been indicated in the attached image.
Now, from the information given we can infer that there is a line BD that cuts angle ABC in two parts: angle ABD and angle DBC
⇒ Angle ABC = Angle ABD + Angle DBC
Also, we know that angle ABC is 1 degree less than 3 times the angle ABD, and that angle DBC is 47 degree
Let angle ABD be x
⇒ Angle ABC = 3x-1
Also, Angle ABC = Angle ABD + Angle DBC
Substituting the values in the above equations
⇒ 3x-1 = x+47
⇒ 2x = 48
⇒ x = 24
So angle ABD = 24 degree, and angle ABC = 3(24)-1 = 71-1 = 71 degree
Assuming you mean y=10x+150 and y=20x+115, you need to use a simultaneous equation, because you have two equations with two unknowns (x and y)
rearrange so
10x-y=-150
20x-y=-115
multiply the top by -1, so that if we add the two lines together, the y will cancel out
-10x+y=150
20x-y=-115
add the two lines together
10x=35
x=3.5
so the time is 3 and a half weeks
then we can sub in x to find y
20x-y=-115
20(3.5)-y=-115
70-y=-115
-y=-185
y=185
so 185 tickets were sold !
you can sub these values into your original equations to check your answer :)
Answer:
The no. of possible handshakes takes place are 45.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : There are 10 people in the party .
To Find: Assuming all 10 people at the party each shake hands with every other person (but not themselves, obviously) exactly once, how many handshakes take place?
Solution:
We are given that there are 10 people in the party
No. of people involved in one handshake = 2
To find the no. of possible handshakes between 10 people we will use combination over here
Formula : 
n = 10
r= 2
Substitute the values in the formula





No. of possible handshakes are 45
Hence The no. of possible handshakes takes place are 45.
25% of 150 = 37.5
700% of x = 37.5
x = 5.35714285
