Math Problem Statement
wait! Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
i) Let ‘x’ metres denote the length of the side of the garden perpendicular to the
brick wall and ‘y’ metres denote the length of the side parallel to the brick wall.
Determine the relation representing the total length of fencing wire and also
write A(x), the area of the garden.
ii) Determine the maximum value of A(x).
Solution
Let’s break down the problem and solve step-by-step based on the details provided:
i) Relation for Total Length of Fencing Wire and Expression for A(x):
Let:
- : Length of the side of the garden perpendicular to the brick wall (in meters).
- : Length of the side of the garden parallel to the brick wall (in meters).
Assume:
- Only three sides of the garden are fenced, as one side is adjacent to the brick wall.
Total Length of Fencing Wire:
The fencing wire is used along the two -sides (perpendicular to the brick wall) and the -side (parallel to the brick wall). Thus:
Let the total length of the fencing wire be denoted as . Hence:
Rearranging to express in terms of and :
Area of the Garden, :
The area of the rectangular garden is:
