If x side of a rectangular field is to have a sea as boundary, find the dimensions of the largest rectangular field that can be enclosed by using 240 m of fencing material for the other three sides?
\n" ); document.write( "***
\n" ); document.write( "let y=width of rectangle
\n" ); document.write( "let x=length (side facing the sea)
\n" ); document.write( "x=240-2y
\n" ); document.write( "Area=y*x=y*(240-2y)=240y-2y^2
\n" ); document.write( "=-2y^2+240y
\n" ); document.write( "complete the square:
\n" ); document.write( "=-2(y^2-120y+3600)+7200
\n" ); document.write( "=-2(y-60)^2+7200
\n" ); document.write( "dimensions:
\n" ); document.write( "y=60 m (width)
\n" ); document.write( "x=240-2y=240-120=120 m(length)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
