The maximum area of the rectangular path is when the length is 24 feet and the width is 12 feet.

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the length and y represent the width. Hence:

There is 48 feet of fencing:

x + 2y = 48

x  = 48 - 2y   (1)

The area (A) is:

A = xy = y(48 - 2y)

A = 48y - 2y²

The maximum area is at A' = 0, hence:

48 - 4y = 0

y = 12

x = 48 - 2(12) = 24

The maximum area of the rectangular path is when the length is 24 feet and the width is 12 feet.
