We are going to fence in a rectangular field and have 200 feet of material to construct the fence. Determine the dimensions of the field that will enclose the maximum area.
We are going to fence in a rectangular field. Starting at the bottom of the field and moving around the field in a counter clockwise manner the cost of material for each side is $6/ft, $9/ft, $12/ft and $14/ft respectively. If we have $1000 to buy fencing material determine the dimensions of the field that will maximize the enclosed area.
We are going to fence in a rectangular field that encloses 75 ft2. Determine the dimensions of the field that will require the least amount of fencing material to be used.
We are going to fence in a rectangular field that encloses 200 m2. If the cost of the material for of one pair of parallel sides is $3/m and cost of the material for the other pair of parallel sides is $8/m determine the dimensions of the field that will minimize the cost to build the fence around the field.

We have 350 m2 of material to build a box whose base width is four times the base length. Determine the dimensions of the box that will maximize the enclosed volume.
We have $1000 to buy the materials to build a box whose base length is seven times the base width and has no top. If the material for the sides cost $10/cm2 and the material for the bottom cost $15/cm2 determine the dimensions of the box that will maximize the enclosed volume.
We want to build a box whose base length is twice the base width and the box will enclose 80 ft3. The cost of the material of the sides is $0.5/ft2 and the cost of the top/bottom is $3/ft2. Determine the dimensions of the box that will minimize the cost.

We want to construct a cylindrical can whose volume is 105 mm3. The material for the wall of the can costs $3/mm2, the material for the bottom of the can costs $7/mm2 and the material for the top of the can costs $2/mm2. Determine the dimensions of the can that will minimize the cost of the materials needed to construct the can.
