Answer:
A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Neither of them are correct. When you plug in both of the fractions into the equation, you get answers like 2/9 (from plugging in 1/3) and 1/9 (from plugging in 1/6). None of them are equal to 9.

<em>Answer: h = 120 ft; w = 80 ft </em>
<em></em>
<em>A = 9600 ft^2</em>
<em />
<em>Step-by-step explanation: Let h and w be the dimensions of the playground. The area is given by:</em>
<em></em>
<em>A = h*w (eq1)</em>
<em></em>
<em>The total amount of fence used is:</em>
<em></em>
<em>L = 2*h + 2*w + w (eq2) (an extra distance w beacuse of the division)</em>
<em></em>
<em>Solving for w:</em>
<em></em>
<em>w = L - 2/3*h = 480 - 2/3*h (eq3) Replacing this into the area eq:</em>
<em></em>
<em></em>
<em></em>
<em>We derive this and equal zero to find its maximum:</em>
<em></em>
<em> Solving for h:</em>
<em></em>
<em>h = 120 ft. Replacing this into eq3:</em>
<em></em>
<em>w = 80ft</em>
<em></em>
<em>Therefore the maximum area is:</em>
<em></em>
<em>A = 9600 ft^2</em>
