Find the dimensions of a rectangle with a perimeter 60m whose area is as large as possible.
Solution:
It is given that
Perimeter of the rectangle = 60m
Area of rectangle is as large as possible if both the values are the same number.
In order to have a maximum area in a rectangle, the dimensions should be equal.
Consider the dimensions as x
So perimeter can be written as
2 (x + x) = 60
2 (2x) = 60
By further calculation
4x = 60
Divide both sides by 4
x = 15
Therefore, the dimensions of a rectangle is 15m × 15m.
Find the dimensions of a rectangle with a perimeter 60m whose area is as large as possible.
Summary:
The dimensions of a rectangle with a perimeter 60m whose area is as large as possible is 15m × 15m.
