Arectangular plot of farmland will be bounded on one side by a river and on the other three sides by a single-strand electric fence. with 2100 m of wire at your disposal, what is the largest area you can enclose, and what are its dimensions?

525 x 1,050

A = 551,250 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'L' be the length parallel to the river and 'S' be the length of each of the other two sides.

The length of  the three sides is given by:

The area of the rectangular plot is given by:

The value of 'S' for which the area's derivate is zero, yields the maximum total area:

Solving for 'L':

The largest area enclosed is given by dimension of 525 m x 1,050 and is:

c) the median for town a 30" is greater than the median for town b 25"

step-by-step explanation:

town a, median = q2 = 30

town b, median - q2 = 25

so the median for town a 30" is greater than the median for town b 25"
