Answer:

Maximum area = 800 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached,

Rectangle is showing width = x ft and the side towards garage is not to be fenced.

Length of the fence has been given as 80 ft.

Therefore, length of the fence = Sum of all three sides of the rectangle to be fenced

80 = x + x + y

80 = 2x + y

y = (80 - 2x)

Now area of the rectangle A = xy

Or function that represents the area of the rectangle is,

A(x) = x(80 - 2x)

A(x) = 80x - 2x²

To find the maximum area we will take the derivative of the function with respect to x and equate it to zero.

A'(x)=\frac{d}{dx}(80x-2x^{2})

             = 80 - 4x

A'(x) = 80 - 4x = 0

4x = 80

x = \frac{80}{4}

x = 20

Therefore, for x = 20 ft area of the rectangular patio will be maximum.

A(20) = 80×(20) - 2×(20)²

         = 1600 - 800

         = 800 square feet

Maximum area of the patio is 800 square feet.
