You are using 1000 feet of fence to create a rectangular enclosure. Let X represents length of the rectangle. Please use proper unit in each answer. A rectangle drawing could help. 1. Express the width of the rectangle in terms of the length X. 2. Express the surface area of the rectangle in terms of X. 3. What value of X gives the maximum surface area. 4. What is the maximum surface area?

1. Express the width of the rectangle in terms of the length X.

width = 500 - X

2. Express the surface area of the rectangle in terms of X.

area = -X² + 500X

3. What value of X gives the maximum surface area?

maximum surface area results from the rectangle being a square, so 1,000 ÷ 4 = 250

X = 250 ft

4. What is the maximum surface area?

maximum surface area = X² = 250² = 62,500 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

since the perimeter = 1,000

1,000 = 2X + 2W

500 = X + W

W = 500 - X

area = X · W = X · (500 - X) = 500X - X² or -X² + 500X

75 tickets have been sold so far.

step-by-step explanation:

in this question it is clearly mentioned that 45 children's tickets have been sold and this number is 60% of the total tickets sold.

now let's assume the total number of tickets sold be x.

then 60% of x = 45

⇒

⇒ x(.6) = 45

by dividing with .6 on both the sides of the equation

⇒ x = 75

therefore 75 tickets have been sold so far.

∞ this is your sign
