Asked by Lee
This is my problem:
A carpenter is building a rectangular room with a fixed perimeter of 336 ft. What dimensions would yield the maximum area? What is the maximum area?
I am confused on what steps it takes to come up with the answer. I would like an example if possible with each step included.

P = 2L + 2W
Find possible length and width of this rectangle.
Hint: Start with a square with 84 feet on each side. That gives an area of 7,056 square feet.
Try other dimensions.
