0Welcome to the site. For future reference, it's considered good form here not to pose questions as imperatives. Keeping in mind @Ayman's response, you might get better answers if you had said something like, "How can I show that the maximum-area rectangle with perimeter 20 is a square? I've tried
but am stuck." You have two good answers already, so you might want to accept one (by clicking on the check mark icon below an answer). – 2012-06-11
