Hi
The sum of the length l and the width w of a rectangular area is 260 meters.
(a) Write w as a function of l.
w = 260 - l
(b) Write the area A as a function of l.
A = l(260-l)
(c) Find the dimensions that produce the greatest area. (When rectangle is a Square)
l = 130 m
w = 130 m
for Ex: 130%2A130+=+16900 and 160%2A100+=+160000
