Answer:

We call x to width and y to high

If perimeter is 120, then

2x+2y=120 , or y=60−x

The surface

s(x)=x⋅y=x(60-x)is the surface area as function of width

If we want to maximize area, then s(x)=60−2

x=0 and we obtain as solution

x=30and then the surface will be maximum if rectangle is a square with 30 ft of side
