An engineer working for Florida Power and Light has been given the task of enclosing a 72-m² rectangular grid of solar panels with a fence and divided into three equal and adjacent parts separated by two parallel fences indicated by the dark bold borders in the figure below. Rectangular Grid of Solar Panels Solar Solar Solar Solar Panel Panel Panel Panel Solar Panel Solar Solar Panel Panel Solar Panel Solar Panel Solar Panel Solar Solar Panel Panel Solar Solar Solar Solar Solar Solar Solar Solar Solar Panel Panel Panel Panel Solar Solar Panel Panel Solar Panel Panel Panel Panel Panel Panel What dimensions for the outer rectangle (i.e., includes three smaller rectangles) will require the smallest total length of fencing material needed? In your work you should clearly identify the quantity to be minimized and then the function express- ing it in terms of a single variable. State the domain of the function, and show all work needed to find and verify the minimum.
