Answer:

Width=20 feet

Since Length=Width=20 feet, the rectangle is a Square.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area, A=40w - w^2

To determine the width of the rectangle that gives the maximum area, we take the derivative of A and solve for its critical point.

A'=40 - 2w\\$When A'=0\\40-2w=0\\40=2w\\w=20 feet

The width of the rectangle that gives the maximum area =20 feet.

Perimeter of a rectangle=2(l+w)

Perimeter of the rectangle=80 feet

2(l+w)=80

2l+2(20)=80

2l=80-40

2l=40

l=20 feet

Since the length and width are equal, the special type of rectangle that produces this maximum area is a Square.
