A gardener has 60 feet of fencing to keep animals out of the garden. Find the LARGEST
AREA of garden that this fence will enclose.

225 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

From what we have in the question, we have 60 ft of fencing

To maximize the area, we will need to have a square

For a square, the length of all sides are equal

Let us call one of the sides s

Thus, from the perimeter of the square;

4s = 60

s = 60/4

s = 15 ft

The area is thus, the product of the side length of the square

15 * 15 = 225 ft^2

option 1 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x and constant of variation is 4

the equation will be:

y = k/x

where k =4 so,

y = 4/x

if we put values of x of option 1 in the above equation and find values of y

y = 4/-2 => y =-2

y = 4/-1 => y = -4

y = 4/1 => y = 4

y = 4/2 => y =2

so, all the values of x and y are correct.

if we put values of x given in other options and find value of y we cannot find whole table satisfying the equation.

hence option 1 is correct.
