2L + 2w = 1200
2L = 1200 - 2w
L = 600 - w
a = Lw
a = (600 - w)w
a = -ww + 600w
---
the above quadratic equation is in standard form, with a=-1, b=600, and c=0
---
to solve the quadratic equation, by using the quadratic formula, copy and paste this:
-1 600 0

---
the quadratic vertex is a maximum at: ( w= 300, a= 90000 )
---
answer:
a maximum area of 90,000 sq.cm is enclosed by:
L = 300 cm
w = 300 cm

the zero root doesn't fit the problem statement, so use the other root:
