Math Problem Statement
A landscaper needs to calculate the largest rectangle of concrete he can make in his back yard. The area (A) of the concrete pad with length x meters is given by the formula A = x(9-x). 1. What is the length of the pad when x = 6 meters? 2. What is the area of the pad when x = 7 meters? 3. What is the pad's length if the landscaper will achieve maximum area? 4. What is the maximum area of the pad? 5. Draw a graph of the model.
Solution
Let's break down the problem step by step. The task requires calculating the largest rectangle of concrete a landscaper can make in their backyard. The area of the concrete pad with length meters is given by the formula .
The Questions:
- What is the length of the pad when meters?
- What is the area of the pad when meters?
- What is the pad's length if the landscaper will achieve maximum area?
- What is the maximum area of the pad?
- Draw a graph of the model.
