Answer:
The dimensions are 6 by 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculus answer:
2x +2y= 24
xy= A
2x=24-2y
x=12-y
(12-y)(y)= 12y- y^2
the Derivative is = 12-2y
Then set that equal to zero 0=12-2y
-12=-2y
y=6
Confirm that 6 is a maximum by using a wiggle graph
wiggle graph -∞<---inc--6---dec-->∞
6 is a maximum
plug into original equation
2x + 2(6)=24
2x+12=24
2x=12
x=6
