Solve the following application problem. A rectangular field is to be enclosed by fencing. In addition to the enclosing fence, another fence is to divide the field into two parts, running parallel to two sides. If 1,200 feet of fencing is available, find the maximum area that can be enclosed.
Applied Optimization Problem 1. You need to construct a fence around an area of 1600 ft. What are the dimensions of the rectangular pen to minimize the amount of material needed?
There is two questions 1.A window has the shape of a rectangle surmounted by a semicircle. If the perimeter of the window is 15 feet, find the dimensions that will allow the maximum amount of light to enter. And the other one question is 2. A page of a book is to have an area of 90 in2, with 1-inch margins at the bottom and sides and a ½-inch margin at the top. Find the dimensions of the page that will allow the largest printed area.
Answer the following geometric problems. 1.A rectangular flower garden with dimensions 3m by 7m is surrounded by the walk of uniform width.

A company designs fish tanks of various sizes. Because of shipping restrictions, a fish tank's height (1 vertical edge) and the entire perimeter of the base (4 edges along the bottom) cannot be more than 300 centimeters altogether (the total of all 5 edges). Suppose the company wants to ship a fish tank that has a SQUARE BASE (the dimensions of the bottom of the fish tank are equal, similar to the image above). If the fish tank has a length of 45 centimeters along one edge of the bottom, how tall can the fish tank be? What is the volume of the fish tank? Write a function to represent the volume of a fish tank with a SQUARE BASE of length xx for one edge, still using the total sum of the height and perimeter of the base equal to 300 centimeters altogether. What dimensions of a fish tank with SQUARE BASE will give the maximum volume? And, what is the maximum volume?
What steps would I take to solve this problem? You have a wire that is 62 cm long. You wish to cut it into two pieces. One piece will be bent into the shape of a square. The other piece will be bent into the shape of a circle. Let A represent the total area of the square and the circle. What is the circumference of the circle when A is a minimum? The circumference of the circle is?
Some airlines have restrictions on the size of items of luggage that passengers are allowed to take with them. Suppose that one has a rule that the sum of the length, width and height of any piece of luggage must be less than or equal to 150 cm. A passenger wants to take a box of the maximum allowable volume. If the length and width are to be equal, what should the dimensions be? 1) what is the length/width, height and volume? 2) if the length was twice the width, what would the length, width, height and volume be?
The golden rectangle of the ancient Greeks was thought to be the rectangle with the shape that was most pleasing to the eye. The golden rectangle was defined as a rectangle that would retain its original shape after removal of a W by W square. So the length and width of the original rectangle must satisfy. If the width W of a golden rectangle is 10.8 m, then what is its length?

500 feet of fencing is to be used to enclose a rectangular field. The field is situated along a river so that one side of the field won’t need any fencing. Determine the dimensions of the field that will enclose the largest area. Question 3 options: a) 125 ft by 250 ft b) 125 ft by 125 ft c) 250 ft by 250 ft d) 200 ft by 300 ft
A Norman window is a rectangle with a semicircle on top. Suppose that the perimeter of a particular Norman window is to be 20 feet. What should the rectangle's dimensions be in order to maximize the area of the window and, therefore, allow in as much light as possible? The answer to this question is in two parts: first, the width of the rectangle in feet and second, the height of the rectangle in feet.
