Suppose that you need to build a rectangular enclosure from 500 feet of fence. Let the dimensions of the fence be calledl (for length) and w (for width). Also, supoose that you always use all 500 feet of available fence. If the width of the enclosure is w feet, what is its length in terms of w? l(w) %3D feet What is the area of the enclosure in terms of w? A(w) = %3D square feet What value of w will give the greatest area? w = feet What is the maximum rectangular area that can be enclosed by 500 feet of fence? square feet
