Question 916152: Optimization problem. Please solve completely.
If one side of a rectangular field is to have a river as natural boundary, find the dimensions of the largest rectangular field that can be enclosed using 240 m of fencing material for the other three sides.
Answer by rothauserc(4718)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! divide 240 by 3 and we get 80m per side, therefore
we assume the largest rectangular field means it has the largest area, then
the dimensions are 80m per side of a square, note
"all squares are rectangles, but all rectangles are not squares"
