A rectangular barn is to be made out of fence in an open field. The fence must enclose the barn and also split the barn in half, in order to separate the cattle from the chicken. The barn has length l metres and width w metres. An outline of the barn is shown in Figure 1 below.
Given that there is only 270 metres of fence in total,
(a) show that . (2)
(b) Hence, find an expression for the area of the barn, A m2, in terms of l. (1)(c) By completing the square, or otherwise, find
(i) the maximum area of the barn (3) (ii) the length and width of the barn for which the area is maximum. (2)

Figure 2 shows two straight lines, l1 and l2.
The line l2 has the equation 2x – 4y = 10. Given that l1 is perpendicular to l2,
(a) find the gradient of l1. (2)The points A and B are where the line l1 crosses the x axis and the y axis respectively. The area of the triangle OAB is 4 square units, where O is the origin.
(b) Find the coordinates of points A and B. (4)(c) Hence, show that the equation of the line l1 is
2x + y + k = 0
where k is a constant to be found. (2)The lines l1 and l2 intersect at the point C. The point D is where l2 intersects the y axis.
(d) Find the exact area of the quadrilateral OACD. (5)
