Question 93421This question is from textbook addison-wesley
: hello,
I would be extremely grateful for any help or advice for this problem. It has been extremely difficult for me as there is no fore-explanation on how to solve this type of problem.
it is in the section of Maximum and Minimum problems, I was not sure where to put it, I hope I got the right topic.
QUESTION:
A straight section of railroad track crosses two highways at points that are 400m and 600m, respectively, from an intersection.
Determine the Dimensions of the largest rectangular lot that can be laid out in the triangle formed by the railroad and highways.
now, I worked a few hours on this problem, coming to absolutely nothing.
I found the remaining side of the right triangle, at 721.1,
I tried any number of equations using variables, in the end coming up with 4(x-1/4L)²-1/2 meaning zilch without knowing L.
I tried graphing it and solving from there, coming up with a rough esimate of the answer.
I Know how to deal with turning into standard form and all that, but I just cannot seem to grasp which numbers I can use to come up with the (x²+1x+1)format, ... as you can see, I am very confused, any help that you can give will a lifesaver
yours truly,
Michael Demski
ps The answer from the book is 200m by 300m, I just don't know how to get there
