What is the measure of X?
°

To find the measure of x you want to put 4x+x equaled to 180, because the measure of a straight line is 180, and 4x and x together make a straight line

Set up your equation:

4x+x=180

Add your like terms

5x=180

Divide by 5 to get x by itself

x=36

Hope this helps ;)

maximum area = xy = (16)(32) = 512 ft2

to maximize the area of the garden, the side of the fence parallel to the side of the house should be 32 ft long, and the other two sides should both have length 16 ft.'
