Therefore, L has a relative and absolute minimum when x = 400 m

What is Perimeter and Area ?

The area is as defined as the amount of space occupied by any shape in two dimensions. Whereas, Perimeter is the boundary or the outline of a flat shape.

Let x = length of the side parallel to the river

     y = length of each of the other two sides

Then xy = 80,000, so y = 80,000/x

Minimize:  L = length of the fence

L = x + 2y

  = x + 160,000/x, where x > 0

L' = 1 - 160,000/x2 = (x2 - 160,000)/x2

L' = 0 when x = 400 or -400

Since x can't be negative, x must be 400.

When 0 < x < 400, L' < 0.  So, L is decreasing.

When x > 400, L' > 0.  So L is increasing.

Therefore, L has a relative and absolute minimum when x = 400 m

                                                                                    y = 80,000/x = 200 m

The fence is shortest if the side parallel to the river has length 400 m and the other 2 sides each have length 200 m.
