Nothing is shown below, unfortunately.

Nevertheless, see the lesson
    - A rancher planning to fence two adjacent rectangular corrals to enclose the maximal area
in this site.

Very similar problem was solved there. It is your sample.
Read it attentively and then solve your problem in the same way.
