A farmer has 1800 linear feet of wire and wants to fence a rectangular field into two pens (of equal width) by facing a fencing parallel to one of its side. He also wants the length (L) of the second pen to be twice the first pen as shown in the figure below. a) Write an equation to express the total area of the rectangular plot in terms of L and W. b) Express the total area A of the rectangular plot as a function of length L. c) Find the value of L which gives the greatest total area of the rectangular plot.
