Perimeter = Length(L) + 2 · Width(W)
92 = L + 2W
92 - 2W = L
Area(A) = Length(L) · Width(W)
= (92 - 2W) · (W)
= 92W - 2W²
To find maximum area, calculate the derivative and set it equal to zero.
dA/dW = 92 - 4W
0 = 92 - 4W
4W = 92
W = 23
Now, solve for Length: L = 92 - 2W
= 92 - 2(23)
= 92 - 46
= 46
Lastly, calculate the Area: A = L · W
= 46 · 46
= 2116
Answer: The maximum area is 2116 yd²
