Tyler and Bethany have 240 feet of fencing with which to build a garden. Tyler wants the garden to be in the shape of a square, while Bethany wants it to be rectangular with a length of 50 feet and a width of 70 feet. Which design would give the maximum area for the garden? Explain.

Respuesta :

schiou
tyler, because if you multiply the sides to get the area, tyler's idea comes out with 3600 sq ft (60*60), and bethany's comes out to 3500 (50*70).

Area of the plane is define as the amount of stuff required to cover the plane. The area of the Tyler's design which is square garden will give the maximum area of the garden.

Given information

Tyler and Bethany have 240 feet of fencing.

Tyler wants the square garden.

The Bethany wants rectangular garden with length of 50 feet and width of 70 feet.

Area of plane

Area of the plane is define as the amount of stuff required to cover the plane

  • Area of the square garden-

To find out the area the length of the side has to known. The perimeter of the garden is 240 feet. As the side of the square is 4 times the perimeter of the square. Let [tex]a[/tex] is the side of the square thus,

[tex]a=\dfrac{240}{4}\\ a=60[/tex]

Thus the side of the square is 60 feet. The area of the square is the square of the side. Thus,

[tex]A=a^2\\ A=60^2\\ A=3600[/tex]

Thus the area of the square garden is 3600 squared feet.

  • Area of the rectangular garden-

As Bethany wants rectangular garden with length of 50 feet and width of 70 feet.  The area of the rectangle is the product of the length and width. Thus,

[tex]A=l\times w\\ A=70\times50\\ A=3500[/tex]

Thus the area of the rectangular garden is 3500 squared feet.

Hence the area of the Tyler's design which is square garden will give the maximum area of the garden.
