Let width and length be x and y respectively.
Perimeter (32in) =2x+2y=> 16=x+y => y=16-x
Area, A = xy = x(16-x) = 16x-x^2
The function to maximize is area: A=16 x-x^2
For maximum area, the first derivative of A =0 => A'=16-2x =0
Solving for x: 16-2x=0 =>2x=16 => x=8 in
And therefore, y=16-8 = 8 in

The sum of 5 consecutive even numbers is 20
vladimir2022 [97]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 1st number be x

2nd number = x + 2

3rd number = x + 4

4th number = x + 6

5th number = x + 8

x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8 = 20

5x + 20 = 20

5x = 20 - 20

5x = 0

x = 0 ÷ 5

x = 0

The 5 consecutive integers are

0, 2, 4, 6, 8
