The maximum length of the rectangular front is the highest length of the rectangular front, and the value is 128.1 feet
How to determine the maximum possible length?
Let the dimension of the rectangular front be x and y.
Such that:
y = 2x
So, the area of the rectangular front is:
A = xy
[tex]A = 2x^2[/tex]
The surface area of the pyramid roof is:
A = 4bh
Where:
b = base =25
h = height =18
So, we have:
[tex]A = 4* 25 * 18[/tex]
[tex]A = 1800[/tex]
The total surface area of the figure is:
[tex]T = 1800 +2x^2[/tex]
The range of the cost of material is: $25 per square foot to $50 per square foot.
So, the maximum cost is:
[tex]50 * (1800 +2x^2) = 500000[/tex]
Divide both sides by 50
[tex]1800 +2x^2 = 10000[/tex]
Subtract 1800 from both sides
[tex]2x^2 = 8200[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2
[tex]x^2 = 4100[/tex]
Take the square root of both sides
x = 64.03
Recall that:
y = 2x
So, we have:
y = 2 * 64.03
y = 128.06
Approximate
y = 128.1
Hence, the maximum possible length of the rectangular front of the building is 128.1 feet
