Jane has 200 feet of fencing to enclose a rectangular vegetable garden. One side of the garden will be alongside Jane’s house so only three sides will need to be fenced. What is the largest area that can be enclosed by the 200 feet of fencing?

1- 2500 square feet
2- 5000 square feet
3- 4444 square feet
4- 10,000 square feet

4- 10,000 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent length alongside Jane’s house and y represent width of garden.

We have been given that Jana has 200 feet of fencing to enclose a rectangular vegetable garden. One side of the garden will be alongside Jane’s house so only three sides will need to be fenced.

The fencing on 3 sides of garden will be equal to perimeter of garden on three sides.

We know that area of rectangle is equal to length times width that is .

From perimeter equation, we will get:

Substituting this value in area equation, we will get:

Now, we need to find derivative of area of function.

Now, we will set derivative equal to 0 to find critical points.

The area will be maximum, when .

Therefore, the maximum area would be 10,000 square feet and 4th option is correct choice.

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
