A garden is to be laid out in such a way that 3 rectangular sections are created by fences. If the total amount of fencing available is 200 ft., find the dimensions that will maximize the total area. --------------- I don't know why Tiff is here if she can't offer assistance. Anyway, The 200 feet of fence will be in 6 pieces. Call W the width of 2 pieces, and L the length of the 4 pieces. 2L + 4W = 200 The total area is L*W 2L + 4W = 200 --> L + 2W = 100 --> L = 100 - 2W Sub for L in the 2nd eqn Area = L*W Area = W*(100 - 2W) = 100W - 2W^2 Find W to maximize the area It's a parabola, and the max is at the vertex. The vertex is as W = -b/2a = -100/-4 W = 25 feet --------- L = 50 feet
