A farmer has 1000 yds of fencing to enclose a rectangular garden. Express the area A as...?
367722
Part a)\n\nx = width\ny = length\n2x + 2y = 1000, so y = 500 - x\n\nA = xy = x(500 - x) = 500x - x^2\n\nb)  x should be positive (and small enough to fit the plot of land that he is planting the garden in)\n\nc)  If one corner is at the coordinates (0,0), the opposite corner is at (x,y) as defined above.\n\nd)  A = 500x - x^2\n\nCalculus Solution:\n\ndA/dx = 500 - 2x\nWhen 500 - 2x = 0, the area is a maximum.  Here, x = 250 and y = 250, so the maximum area is 62,500 square yards.\n\nNon-calculus Solution:\n\nGraph the equation A = 500x - x^2.  You can see that the parabola crosses the x-axis at x = 0 and at x = 500.  By symmetry, you know that the peak of the parabola must be half-way between 0 and 500 at x = 250.  When x = 250, A = 62,500, which is the maximum area.

An acre is equivalent to approximately:\na square of side 208.71 feet (63.61 metres).

Area = length x width

Area = Length x Width\n\nArea = 2 ft x 5 ft\n   ''    = 10 sq. ft

Yep, it's the Pythagorean theorem question.\n\nA^2=B^2+C^2\n\nA is always the hypotenuse.\n\n20^2 = 400\n\n400 = 144 + B^2\n256 = B^2\n16 = B\n\nSo the length of the last side is 16 yards.\n\nHence, the total length is A + B.\n\n12 plus 16 is 28 yards total of fencing.\n\nThe area of an enclosed yard is one yard squared.\n\nBut if you're curious as to what the area is of the triangle created by the house and the fencing, then it's 1/2(B*C)\n\n1/2*192= 96yd^2 is the area of the triangle.

Two acres is exactly 8093.71284 m2 (square meters). It is like a square piece of land that measures approximately 90 meters long (all 4 sides measure 90 meters).

261360(!) assuming none have to be cut or get broken best order about 262.000 to be on the safe side. (The calculation is 4 slabs per sq yd and there are 4840 sq yds in an acre so you get 13.5 x 4840 x 4)

you need to be more specific...\nbut technicaly the perimeter is the sum of all the sides...

the fence  built on your property is your the fentce touching the property of your neighbor isnt urs anymore.

An acre is defined as 43,560 ft^2. So 2 acres is \n87,120 ft^2. You could have a square plot 295.16 ft. on a side or\na circular plot with a radius of 166.57ft or a small plane landing zone of 60ft X 1452 ft. The list goes on.

Convert to sq.ft. first:\n\n132 yd * 132 yd = \n\n396 ft * 396 ft =\n\n156,816 ft ²\n\nNow divide by 43,560, since 1 acre = 43,560 ft ²\n\n156,816 ÷ 43,560 = 3.60\n\n(My answer is exactly half of yours)\n\n~ ♥ ~

that makes no sense\nthe length is 24 yards though, and the area is 192 square yards..

I hope you made a start.  Since you're asked the original side measure, let that equal x ft.  Then read the question again and notice that the length of the increased garden is x + 3, and the width is ...?  [I'm sure you know].\nArea = length * width, and we're told area is 72, so you have an equation in the form\n(x + 3)(x + ...) = 72\n\nExpand the left side to get 3 terms, then subtract 72 from both sides and get \n\nx^2 +  ...x - ..... = 0, which I hope you can solve, but I really don't think I should do it for you.  If you need more help, email the bloke who answered your previous question.\n\n-- or me at h_chalker@yahoo.com.au

convert everything to ft. (its easier). now, find the volume of the deep area (length times width times height). then divide by the volume by the bags of mulch
