The dimensions of the garden that will require the least amount of fencing are 450 m and 900 m and the perimeter of the area is 1800 m.

<h3>What is the area of the rectangle?</h3>

It is defined as the area occupied by the rectangle in two-dimensional planner geometry.

The area of a rectangle can be calculated using the following formula:

Rectangle area = length x width

Let's suppose x and y are the sides of the rectangular garden and y is the parallel to the river.

Then according to the problem:

2x + y = P ..(1)

P is the perimeter of the rectangle.

xy = 405000 (area of the rectangle)

Plug the value of y in the equation (1) from the above equation.

P(x) = 2x + 405000/x

P'(x) = x—405000/x² = 0

x = 450 m

P''(x) > 0 hence at x = 450 the value of P(x) is minimum.

y = 405000/450

y = 900 m

P(min) = 1800 m

Thus, the dimensions of the garden that will require the least amount of fencing are 450 m and 900 m and the perimeter of the area is 1800 m.
