You decide to buy locally sourced watermelon for your food truck. You meet with a farmer on Long Island that has a rectangular watermelon farm with an area of 1000x + 750 feet squared. What is the largest possible perimeter of the farm?

 126.48x+109.56  would be the largest possible perimeter if the area is 1000x + 750.

Step-by-step explanation:  Not 100% certain of this answer.

find square root...

31.62x+27.39

that would give us 4 sides and since perimeter of rectangle is 2l+2w...

4(31.62x+27.39)=

126.48x+109.56 would be the largest possible perimeter if the area is 1000x + 750.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2

+2+=+%2836%2fx%29%5e2+

+2+=+1296%2fx%5e2+

++x%5e2+=+1296%2f2+=+648+

25.45584

the answer is 99.
