Answer:
For maximum area of the rectangular exercise run dimensions will be 50ft by 25ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of the rectangular exercise run = l ft
and width of the run = w ft
Sinoman has to cover a rectangular exercise run from three sides with the fencing material,
So length of the material = (l + 2w) ft
l + 2w = 100
l = 100 - 2w --------(1)
Area of the rectangular area covered = Length × width
A = lw
A = w(100 - 2w) [(l = 100 - 2w)from equation (1)
For maximum area we find the derivative of area and equate it to zero.
A' = 100 - 4w
For A' = 0
100 - 4w = 0
4w = 100
w = 25 ft
From equation (1)
l = 100 - 2w
l = 100 - 2×(25)
l = 50 ft
Therefore, for maximum area of the rectangular exercise run dimensions will be 50ft by 25ft.
