Keiko has 360 meters of fencing and wishes to form three sides of a rectangular field. The fourth side borders a river and will not need fencing. As shown below, one of the sides has length x (in meters). (a) Find a function that gives the area A (x) of the field (in square meters) in terms of x. (b) Side along river = side length x gives the maximum area that the field can have? Side length x meters (c) What is the maximum area that the field can have? Maximum area: square meters 4 3 ?
