Question

The length of a rectangle is three more than twice the width. Determine the dimensions that will give a total area of 27m². What is the minimum area that this rectangle can have?

Answer 1

L + 2W + 3

A=W(2W+3) = 27

Solve this quadratic for your first answer...and ignore the negative root.

The area function does not have a minimum for W>0.
