There is 120 ft of fencing available for a project. What would be the dimensions for the garden if the builders attached one side of the fence to the building to make the area as large as possible ?
30x60 ft?
40x40 ft?
50x25 ft?
70x30 ft?

30 x 60

Step-by-step explanation:

the length of the perimeter would be 180, subtract 60ft for the fencing replaced by the wall and you meet the maximum 120ft

30X60 gives you the largest area with 1800ft^2

if you need , reply with more info. u.

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15
