Let x and y be the two side lengths of the full rectangle. The length x will be divided in two. The total lengths of fence needed will be L = 2x + 3y. You know that x y = 5,189,400 ft^2 dL/dx = d/dx (2x + 3*5,189,400/x) = 2 - 15,568,200/x^2 = 0 at minimum L x^2 = 7,784,100 x...

We don't usually make "curved fences". Mathematically, with a limited length of fence, a fence in the form of a circle encloses the maximum area. If the fence has to be straight, then it's a square has the maximum area for a given length of fence (or the ...

For a question this long, you really need to show some work of your own. You certainly can compute the time it takes the ball to reach the batter. (Part a) i don't see why a home run should have to clear the fence by one foot (unless an outfielder can reach a foot higher ...
