You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You have to find the maximum of area = LW as you know L=30-2W
\n" ); document.write( "then you have to find maximum of f(W)=(30-2W)W that is maximum when W=7.5 and L=15
\n" ); document.write( "Finally maximum area = 15*7.5=112.5
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
