Question

You have 120 feet of fencing with which to construct a rectangular kennel with one side along a barn. No fencing is required along the barn. Find the dimemsions of the kennel that yields the largest possible area? What is the maximum area of such a kennel? To receive full credit, set up a function to optimize and state its domain, then use calculus to answer the questions. Dimensions: feet x feet (Please put the smaller dimension first) Area: feet^2
