document.write( "Question 1207474: You have 1000 feet of flexible pool siding and wish to construct a swimming pool. Experiment with rectangularshaped pools with perimeters of 1000 feet. How do their areas vary? What is the shape of the rectangle with the largest area? Now compute the area enclosed by a circular pool with a perimeter (circumference) of 1000 feet. What would be your choice of shape for the pool? If rectangular, what is your preference for dimensions? Justify your choice. If your only consideration is to have a pool that encloses the most area, what shape should you use? \n" ); document.write( "
