A farmer is enclosing a rectangular area for a pigpen. He wants the length of the pen to be 20 ft longer than the width. The farmer can use no more than 100 ft of fencing. What is the pen’s greatest possible length? Let w represent the width of the pen. What expression represents the length?

Width is 15, length is 35.We can check our answer by multiplying the length by 2 and the width by two in order for the perimeter to be equal to 200.15 times 2 is 30 and 35 times two equals 70.70+30=100 so our solution satisfies our problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be x.Then the length should be x+20.The farmer can’t use more than 100 ft of fencing and by mentioning enclosing a rectangle area for a pigpen, we can tell that 100 is the perimeter.So 2(x+20) + 2(x)=100.2x+ 40 + 2x=100.4x+40=100.4x=60.X is 15 which is the width so then the length is 35.

2 & 7

step-by-step explanation:

he climbs 300 ft/hr at a constant rate. the peak is at 1,500 ft.

when going up, he reaches 600 ft in 2 hours. remember, that he is going in a constant rate. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = 2

assuming that he takes the same route back (meaning that it's a 1500 ft route back, you can solve.

note also that you are solving when he gets back to 600 ft after he reaches the peak.

first, find the amount of hours it takes to get up the peak. divide the total amount (1500), with the ft/her (300) to get the amount of hours (x):

1500/300 = x

x = 5

it takes jamie 5 hours to get up. now, he is returning down, and reaches 600 (his current destination). remember that he climbs at a constant 300 ft/hr. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = x

x = 2

now add the two numbers together.

x = 5 + 2 = 7

jamie takes 7 hours to go up the mountain and reach his current position when descending.

(total amount/constant rate) = (time).

remember that it is a constant rate, so in total, when he gets back down the mountain, it will take the same amount of time as when he goes up. the total amount for the round trip is: 5 + 5 = 10.

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x^2 + y^2 = 1024

discussion:

the equation of a circle with center (h,k) and radius "r" is

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2.

in our case

(x-0)^2 + (y-0) ^2 = 32^2 = 1024

you,
