Cala title : Differentiation
Applications
Competences /skills : critical thinking,
problem solving
Background :
A cooperative in your community intends to
build a garden of maximum area from a given
length of fence.

The Cala
The Cala consists of two parts, Part A and Part
B. You are required to respond to both parts of
the Cala
Part A
 Design a plan for the garden
 Formulate a mathematical model to
address the situation
Part B
Using the information gathered in Part A ,
obtain the measurements of the garden which
maximizes the area
Cala Tips
Remember how to get the maxima and
minima of any given function.
. All the fence must be usedl
