Alandscape architect wished to enclose a rectangular garden on one side by a brick wall costing $20/ft and on the other three sides by a metal fence costing $10/ft. if the area of the garden is 22 square feet, find the dimensions of the garden that minimize the cost.

To minimize the cost, you would want the side with the brick wall to be as small as possible. as you provided no restraints to the size, a garden which is 1 foot wide by 22 feet long would be most cost effective, with 22 feet times 2 sides equaling 44 feet in total, plus one foot for the back wall. With a total of 45 feet of fence costing $450, and 1 foot of brick which will cost $20, the total cost would be $470.

The answer is B
