x, x, 80-2x
\n" ); document.write( "The three lengths
\n" ); document.write( "80-2x is length parallel to riverbank\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2880-2x%29\", area\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Maximum area should be in exact middle between the zeros.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "One zero is 0.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Other zero is \"80-2x=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"40-x=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=40\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Exact middle of 0 and 40 is 20.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Dimensions to max area:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "20 and 40.
