2. (Non-Calc) A rancher wants to construct two identical rectangular corrals using 100 ft of fencing. The rancher decides to build them adjacent to each other, so they share fencing on one side. What dimensions should the rancher use to construct each corral so that together, they will enclose the largest possible area? a. Picture with Labels: b. Find the optimization function in terms of only one variable: c. Solve using First or Second Derivative Test:
