Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The perimeter is the distance around the rectangle. You have used the word height, but I will replace it with the word width because the word height is usually used with 3D shapes.

If W is the width and the length is L, the formula for the perimeter is 2W+2L=P.

We can plug in the numbers we already have to solve for L, the length of our base.

2(14.2)+2L=66

28.4+2L=66

We subtract 28.4 from both sides.

2L=37.6

We divide both sides by 2.

L=18.8

The length of the base is 18.8 meters.

Have a wonderful day!

likoan [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length and y be the width of the rectangular plot.

The plot is bounded on one side by a river and on the other three sides by a single-strand electric fence. It means,

x+2y = 1500

x = 1500 - 2y ....(1)

We know that the area of a rectangular plot is given by :

A = xy ....(2)

Put the value of x from equation (1) in (2)

A=(1500-2y)y\\\\A=1500y-2y^2 .....(3)

For largest area, differentiate above area equation wrt y.

\dfrac{dA}{dy}=\dfrac{d}{dy}(1500y-2y^2)\\\\=1500-4y\\\\\text{Put}\ \dfrac{dA}{dy}=0\\\\1500-4y=0\\\\y=\dfrac{1500}{4}\\\\=375

Put the value of y in equation (1).

x = 1500-2(375)

= 750 m

Put the value of y in equation (3).

A =1500(375)-2(375)^2\\A=281250\ m^2

Hence, the largest area is 281250 m² and its dimensions are 750 m and 375 m.
