The shortest length of the fence is 6928.203 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can define the area of the field (A) as a function with constant value,
A=xy=2000000 ft^2
And, in the same way, we can define one of the side in terms of the other side,
y=2000000/x
On the other hand, we can define the length of the fence (L) as the perimeter of the field (P) plus the length of one of the sides:
L=P+x
L=(2x+2y)+x
L=3x+2y
But, above we defined y in terms of x, so we need to replace it in the equation that defines L:
L=3x+2(2000000/x)
L=3x+4000000/x
The problem asks us about the shortest length of fence, it means the minimum value of L. Then, we need to find the minimum value of L, and we can do this, if we derivate the function L and equalize the derivate of the function to zero,
And, we know that a square root has two valids results: one negative and one positive, so,
In this case, a lenght cannot be negative, so we are going to take the positive value,
So, taking into account the function that defines L, the shortest lenght for the fence will be:
