Maximum Area of a Rectangle with Perimeter 100

Step 1. Let the two sides be x and y
Step 2. x+y+x+y=100
Step 3. y = 50-x
Step 4. Area = xy = x(50-x)
Step 5. Find the x-coordinate of the vertex
Step 6. Use that to find the max area (625 units^2)

So in the end if you get x and y to be 25 is the shape not going to be a square?

[@geniusvadim7858]

Yes it will, but the answer for all of these "max area" questions ends as a square because that results in maximum area. Weird, I know.
