I find these rather difficult and easy to mess up. I will show you my work, and perhaps someone could go over it and tell me whether it is sound or not. There were a lot of special symbols that I don't know how to enter on this webpage, so I used a math notepad and took screenshots of my work.
The problem is: There is a rectangle with an equilateral triangle on top of it. The width of the rectangle and the base of the triangle are equivalent. The perimeter of the shape is 243 ft. What dimensions will maximize the area of this shape? And what is the max area of the shape?
