Question 346175: please i need your help: a rectangle of length x and width w has a perimeter of 22 yards.
a) draw a rectangle that gives a visual representation of the problem. Use the specified variables to label the sides of the rectangle.
b) show that the width of the rectangle w=11-x and its area is A=x(11-x)
c) use graphing utility to graph the area equation, be sure to adjust your window settings.
d) from the graph in part (c), estimate the dimensions of the rectangle that yield a maximum area.
Thanks a lot!

a rectangle of length x and width w has a perimeter of 22 yards.
---
Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)
22 = 2(L+W)
L+W = 11
W = 11-L (width)
L = L (length)
