<span>We let x be the length and y be the width of the rectangle. Then,
 
Perimeter = 2x + 2y
100 = 2x + 2y
50 = x + y
y = 50 - x
 
Area = xy
A = x(50 - x)
A = 50x - x^2
 
We then take the derivative; set it equal to zero:
 
A ' = 50 - 2x
0 = 50 - 2x
2x = 50
x = 25
y = 50 - x
y = 50 - 25
y = 25
 
Therefore, the dimensions are 25 and 25.</span>

What is the area of the shaded region of the figure
Alborosie
So we're looking at two rectangles, one cut out of the other, so all you do is find the area of the big one, base times height equals area, minus the area of the small one, base times height equals area. So the equation you have to solve for is this,

Area=(12.6X14)-(3X8.4)

Lubov Fominskaja [6]
Given:
circular merry-go-round that has a diameter of 15 feet.

Find: How much trim does he need to buy to put around the edge of the merry-go-round?

We need to find the circumference of the merry-go-round to get the measurement of the trim needed.

Circumference = π d
π = 3.14
d = diameter = 15 feet

Circumference = 3.14 * 15 feet
Circumference = 47.10 feet.

Mr. Osterhout needs to buy 47.10 feet of trim to put around the circular merry-go-round.
