a rectangular region has a fence along three sides and a wall along the fourth side . the fenced side opposite the wall is twice the length of each of the other two fenced sides . if the area of the rectangular region is 200 square feet , what is the total length of the fence , in feet ?
two sides each = x the third = 2 x and the wall length is thus 2 x too x * 2 x = 2 x ^ 2 = 200 ie x ^ 2 = 100 ie x = 10 l = 20 w = 10 total lenght of fence = 2 * 10 + 20 = 40 my answer is d

we can find the radius of all the three cases of cylinders . the only crux to find the answer faster is that : voulme is pi * r ^ 2 * h . the volume is a function of r ^ 2 . so r has to be the highest to find the largest volume . so r = 7 for the surface 8 * 12 face . volume = 343 pi answer d
