Question 172502: you have a 1200 foot roll of fencing and a large field. You want to make 2 paddlocks by splitting a rectangle enclosure in half. What are the dimensions of the largest such enclosure Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let width =
Let length =
Let area =
If I set to find the roots, the
maximum will be at which
is exactly 1/2 way between the roots
And, since
The dimensions of the largest enclosure will
be when width = 200 ft and length = 300 ft
check answer:
and ft2
To see if this is max area change and
slightly but still make true, like
It ends up being a little less as it should
