Answer 4

I'm reading, calm xD

Answer 5

Hahaha Alright.

Answer 6

I have to assume that this enclosures are quadrilateral?

Answer 7

Correct!

Answer 8

I changed my answer to C but not sure

Answer 9

yup 300ft and 200 ft. Do you know basic calculus?

Answer 10

Kinda. Why?

Answer 11

You can maximize (or minimize) functions by deriving;
Now, your 1200 ft of fence will be reparted between a and b like this:
(1) 2b+3a=1200 -->b=(1200-3a)/2
Then, the Area of a quadrilateral is given by the product of its sides, the we have
(2) a*b=A, where A=area

Now we replace b from (1) in (2)

a(1200-3a)/2=A

We derive and we have
(1/2)*(1200-6a)=dA, we equal dA to 0 in order to maximize and..

a= 200, then because of (1), b= 300
