Let
x-------> the width of the rectangular area
y------> the length of the rectangular area
we know that
y=x+15------> equation 1
perimeter of a rectangle=2*[x+y]
2x+2y <= 150-------> equation 2
substitute 1 in 2
2x+2*[x+15] <=150--------> 2x+2x+30 <=150----> 4x <=150-30
4x <= 120---------> x <= 30
the width of the rectangular area is at most 30 ft
y=x+15
for x=30
y=30+15------> y=45
the length of the rectangular area is at most 45 ft
see the attached figure
the solution is<span> the shaded area</span>
