you have 160 yards of fencing to enclose a rectangular region. find the maximum area of the rectangular region

Sagot :

ArchimedesElevenidn
The maximum area of a rectangle when given perimeter is simply perimeter/sides.
To get the maximum area, simply divide 160 (perimeter) by 4 (sides in a rectangle) and then square the result:
160/4 = 40
40 x 40 = 1600
The maximum area, when the sides are all of the same length, is 1600 square yards.
Hope this helps!

   Maximum area covered by 160 yards fence will be 1600 square yards.

  Let the length and the width of a rectangular region are 'l' and 'w'.

Since, length of a rope covering the rectangular region is 160 yards,

Therefore, length of the rope will represent the perimeter of the rectangular region.

2(l + w) = 160

l + w = 80 ---------(1)

Expression for the area of a rectangular region is,

Area = Length × Width

A = l × w

Substitute the measure of 'w' from equation (1),

w = 80 - l

A = l(80 - l)

A = 80l - l²

For maximum area to be covered, find the derivative of the area with respect to length and equate it to zero.

A'= 80 - 2l

For A' = 0,

80 - 2l = 0

l = 40 yards

By substituting l = 40 in the expression of the area,

Area of the rectangular region = 80(40) - (40)²

                                                   = 3200 - 1600

                                                   = 1600 square yards

    Therefore, maximum region covered by 160 yards fence will be 1600 square yards.
