Perimeter & Area Problem:
Exciting news! Your town has approved the construction of a new skate park on the community centre yard. They are accepting submissions from the public for designs. You and your friends have lots of great ideas for the skate park, but you need to determine the area and perimeter that make the most sense.
The town requires an expensive metal barrier to surround the perimeter of the park and their budget for the barrier is $3600 (It has a unit cost of $35 per metre).
You need to maximize the area of the skate park without going over budget on the perimeter.
What is the largest possible area for your skate park design?
