Abstract: Abstract Suppose we want to build a fenced in area adjacent to a house and we are limited to 100 feet of fencing based on how fencing is sold. What is the largest area that can be enclosed? This type of problem, one where we want to maximize or minimize something, in this case the area of the rectangle, given some constraint, in this case a limit on the perimeter, is an optimization problem.
