1. A lifeguard marks off a rectangular swimming area at the beach with 200m of rope. What is the greatest area of water she can enclose?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

20l 10w or it could be the other way around

The greatest area of water she can enclose is 2500 m².

A rectangle is a 2-dimensional quadrilateral with four right angles.

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 x (length + width)

Area of a rectangle = length x width

In order to determine the greatest area of water the lifeguard can enclose, we have t determine the sum of the dimensions.

200m = 2( l + b)

l + b = 200m / 2

l + b = 100m

The second step is to determine the pair of dimensions that add up to 100.

90 x 10 = 900

80 x 20 = 1600

70 x 30 = 2100

60 x 40 = 2400

50 x 50  = 2500
