You can put this solution on YOUR website! The perimeter of a rectangle is 500 feet. Let x represent the width of the rectangle. Write a quadratic function for the area A of the rectangle in terms of its width.
-----------------------
2(L + W) = 500
L + W = 250
L = 250-W
------
Area = W*L
A = W(250-W)
A = 250W - W^2
