Question 721031: The problem is stated below.
For the area LW=800, I isolated L, which is L=(800/W).
Then I plugged this into the perimeter equation
P=2(800/W)+2W -> P=(1600/W)+2W -> P=1600+2W^2
Then, derivative = 4W. But when I set the derivative to equal 0, W=0 which doesn't make sense.
I'm not sure where my error is. Could you please show me how you would solve it. Thanks in advance!

Question 722866: I am trying to assist my son who has a C grade in Ontario Canada Grade 6 Math :(
We were doing just fine until we came across this question and my Googling has gotten me no where.
The question is to determine the length and width of a square with an area of 36 square cm.
The answer is 6 cm each side but how do I teach him a formula to help him?
The same will of course end applying to determining formulas for rectangles, parallelograms and triangles.
Any research so far has the same stuff.
They teach how to determine the area with one unknown or both sides known but not with both unknown.
I feel like a dummy for not being able to help him.
I am 54 years old and I cannot figure this?
Sad it is so I beseech your assistance.
he is a good lad and has shown great marks before.
I fear I have been negligent in not following his progress previously.
He is keen to learn and is excited that I am helping.
He knows I am looking for an answer and is patient.
I thank you for taking the time to help us.
Sincerely
Wm. Makort
