Question 293408: a carpenter is building a rectangular room with a fixed perimeter of 480 ft^2. what are the dimensions of the largest room that can be built? what is the area? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! What do you mean by largest room? largest in area? largest in length?
Largest in area would be a square.
Perimeter is feet not square ft( ft^2)
area is square ft
4s=480
s=120
s^2=120^2
