- A garden has 60 yards of fencing and wants to enclose a rectangular garden that requires fencing only on three sides. Find the length and width of the plot that will maximize the area.arrow_forwardBruce's Material Company hauls gravel to a construction site, using a small truck and a large truck. The carrying capacity and operating cost per load are given in the accompanying table. Bruce must deliver a minimum of 240 cubic yards per day to satisfy her contract with the builder. The union contract with her drivers requires that the total number of loads per day is a minimum of 8. How many loads should be made in each truck per day to minimize the total cost?

- We are tasked with constructing a rectangular box with a volume of 13 cubic feet. The material for the top costs 8 dollars per square foot, the material for the 4 sides costs 7 dollars per square foot, and the material for the bottom costs 10 dollars per square foot. To the nearest cent, what is the minimum cost for such a box? Hint: Draw and label a rectangular box with variables for the 3 dimensions.arrow_forwardPlz help me.
