We know the perimeter formula would be 1200=2x+2y. And the area will be A=x*y
We can to take the derivative of the area formula to find where it is a max but we must first substitute something in from the first formula so we only have one variable.

1200-2x=2y
600-x=y

A=(x)*(600-x)
A=600x-x^2

Now we take the derivative:
A'=600-2x (set equal to 0 and solve)
0=600-2x
2x=600
x=300 

Then when we plug this into the perimeter formula, we can solve for y
1200=2x+2y
1200=2(300)+2y
1200=600+2y
600=2y
y=300

So both the length and width are 300 yards, and the area would be 90,000 square yards

Hope this helps

What is the first step in describing what figure results when a given plane intersects a given three-dimensional figure
mafiozo [28]
There are three possible results when a plan intersects with a three-dimensional figure and these are:
a point
a line
a plane

The first step in describing the result is to determine first how the plane and the figure intersects.

Use Lagrange multipliers to find the maximum and minimum values of f(x,y)=x+4y subject to the constraint x2+y2=9, if such values
Vesnalui [34]

The Lagrangian is

L(x,y,\lambda)=x+4y+\lambda(x^2+y^2-9)

with critical points where the partial derivatives vanish.

L_x=1+2\lambda x=0\implies x=-\dfrac1{2\lambda}

L_y=4+2\lambda y=0\implies y=-\dfrac2\lambda

L_\lambda=x^2+y^2-9=0

Substitute x,y into the last equation and solve for \lambda:

\left(-\dfrac1{2\lambda}\right)^2+\left(-\dfrac2\lambda\right)^2=9\implies\lambda=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{17}}6

Then we get two critical points,

(x,y)=\left(-\dfrac3{\sqrt{17}},-\dfrac{12}{\sqrt{17}}\right)\text{ and }(x,y)=\left(\dfrac3{\sqrt{17}},\dfrac{12}{\sqrt{17}}\right)

We get an absolute maximum of 3\sqrt{17}\approx12.369 at the second point, and an absolute minimum of -3\sqrt{17}\approx-12.369 at the first point.
