Question 957901: Please help me solve this question:
You will be constructing a rectangular deck against your bungalow, using 32 feet of railing and will leave a 4 foot gap in the railing for access to the stairs. Determine the dimensions that will maximize the area of the deck, and the maximum area.

What work I've done so far:
- The deck only has 3 sides (32 ft railing and a 4 ft gap)
36/3 = 3S/3
= 12 for Width of each side (therefore 12ft squared is the max area of the deck)
For max area I did
A= l x W
A= (12)X (12)
A= 144, Therefore 144 ft squared is the max area)
Gap for railing = 4ft.
A= max area - gap
A= 144-4
A= 140 ft squared.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
