Allison measured her rectangular deck and found that it has dimensions of 5 1/2 yards by 8 yards. Both the length and the width may have a measurement error of up to 1/5%. What is the maximum possible area of Allison’s deck, rounded to the nearest thousandth of a square yard?

step-by-step explanation:

if you need just tell me and i will come to the rescue.

step-by-step explanation:

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

(7 x + 6 y) (49 x^2 - 42 x y + 36 y^2)

discussion:

the trick is to recognize that 343 = 7^3 and 216 = 6^3 and, in general,

a^3 + b^3 =   (a + b) (a^2 - a b + b^2).

in our case

343x^3+216y^3   =   (7x)^3 + (6y)^3

so take a = 7x and b = 6y in the above equation to get the answer.
