Find the dimensions of the rectangle of area A square units that has the smallest perimeter.

I think I have to find the area in terms of the perimeter so when I do that, I get:
A = (1/2)(P-2w)w so,
A' = (1/2) [(P-2w) + (dP/dA +2)]
The problem that I run into is how to graph the derivative of the equation since there are two variables, P and w.
