Question
Two-Corral Problem: You work on Bill Spenders Ranch. Bill tells you to build a circular fence around the lake and to use the remainder of your 1000 yards of fencing to build a square corral (Figure 8-3i). To keep the fence out of the water, the diameter of the circular enclosure must be at least 50 yards. Figure 8-3i a. If you must use all 1000 yards of fencing, how can you build the fences to enclose the minimum total area? Justify your answer. b. What would you tell Bill if he asked you to build the fences to enclose the maximum total area?
