A landscape designer has to construct a rectangular flower bed with a perimeter of 100 feet and the maximum possible area. What is the area of the flower bed

9514 1404 393

   625 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest area of a polygon with a given perimeter is that of a regular polygon. A regular rectangle is one that has all sides the same length -- a square. The side length of a square with 100 ft perimeter is 25 ft. The area of a square with such a side length is

  A = (25 ft)² = 625 ft²

The maximum possible area is 625 ft².

__

In the attached, x is the length of one side. The area versus side length is plotted. The maximum is seen to be 625 ft² for a side length of 25 ft.

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents

well my understanding of this question is they want you to use the y=14.1x -2.3 and put the coordinates they gave you onto the line segment of   y=14.1x -2.3
