A sprinkler can water between 1 and 130 square yards of a lawn. The length L in inches of rotating pipe needed to water A square yards is given by the function L=119.75 square root of A. How much area can be watered if the length of the pipe is 600, 900, or 1,000 inches long?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]25.1\ \text{inches}^2[/tex]

[tex]56.5\ \text{inches}^2[/tex]

[tex]69.7\ \text{inches}^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the pipe is given by the function

[tex]L=119.75\sqrt{A}[/tex]

where A is the area

[tex]A=(\dfrac{L}{119.75})^2[/tex]

For [tex]L=600\ \text{in}[/tex]

[tex]A=(\dfrac{600}{119.75})^2\\\Rightarrow A=25.1\ \text{inches}^2[/tex]

Area watered when L = 600 inches is [tex]25.1\ \text{inches}^2[/tex]

For [tex]L=900\ \text{in}[/tex]

[tex]A=(\dfrac{900}{119.75})^2\\\Rightarrow A=56.5\ \text{inches}^2[/tex]

Area watered when L = 900 inches is [tex]56.5\ \text{inches}^2[/tex]

For [tex]L=1000\ \text{in}[/tex]

[tex]A=(\dfrac{1000}{119.75})^2\\\Rightarrow A=69.7\ \text{inches}^2[/tex]

Area watered when L = 1000 inches is [tex]69.7\ \text{inches}^2[/tex]
