Dennis plans to use 1150 ft of fence to enclose the rectangular pasture. One side borders a river where there is already a thick hedge it needs no fencing.
The diagram is a rectangle with width x.
a. let x be the width. write an expression for the length in term of x
b. write an expression for the area of the pasture in terms of x
c. suppose the pasture must enclose at least 60,000 sq ft. write a sentence (as a sentence in math not a sentence like this one.) relating the area expression in part b to the area the pasture must enclose.
I have a and b but i want to check them since they're related and i completely don't understand c, can you clear thing sup a bit for me?
