You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
It is a classic problem on finding optimal dimension.
This problem was solved MANY TIMES in this forum.
Therefore, I created a lesson at this site, explaining the solution in all details.
The lesson is under this link
- A farmer planning to fence a rectangular area along the river to enclose the maximal area
Read this lesson attentively.
Consider it as your TEMPLATE.
Having this template in front of you, solve the GIVEN problem by the same way.
Having it written one time, I do not see any reasons to re-write it again and again with every new posted data set.
By the way, in the lesson, you will find many useful links to accompanied lessons.
Do not miss them.
Consider my lessons as your textbook, handbook, tutorial and (free of charge) home teacher.
