Question 28993: This is a quadratic function problem please show me the steps
John has 128 meters of fencing material with which he wants to make a rectangular pen. If he uses the side of his house as one of the walls, find the nmaximum area he can enclose and the dimensions. Answer by checkley71(8403) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! THE MAXIMUM AREA WOULD BE A SQUARE THEREFORE WITH THE HOUSE AS ONE SIDE THE 128 METERS OF FENCING WOULD BE USED FOR THE THREE REMAINING SIDES OR
128/3=42 2/3 METERS. THIS WILL GIVE YOU (42 2/3)X(43 2/3) SQUARE METERS FOR THE PEN OR APPROXIMATELY 1820.4 SQUARE METERS.
