Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Question says that it uses 120 feet of fencing material to enclose three sides of the play area. This means there are 3 sides. Putting this into equation, we have something like this.

120 = L + 2W

Where

LW = area.

Again, in order to maximize the area with the given fencing, from the equation written above, then Width, w must be = 30 feet and length, l must be = 60

On substituting, we have

A = LW = (120 - 2W) W

From the first equation, making L the subject of the formula, we have this

L = 120 - 2W, which then we substituted above.

On simplification, we have

L = 120W -2W²

Differentiating, we have

A' = 120 - 4W = 0

Remember that W = 30

So therefore, L = 120 - 2(30) = 60 feet
