Problema Solution

a carpenter is building a rectangular room with a fixed perimeter of 328 ft. What dimensions would yield the maximum area? what is the maximum area?

Answer provided by our tutors

let length = l

width = w

2(l+w) = 328

l+w=164

dl+dw=0

dl=-dw

area = a=l*w

da = ldw+wdl

for max. da=0

ldw = -wdl

ldw=-w(-dw)

l=w

area will be maximum when l=w=82

area=6724
