Question

A farmer has 1804 feet of fencing available to enclose a rectangular area bordering a river. If no fencing is required along the river, find the dimensions of the fenced
area that will maximize the area. What is the maximum area?
What is the length of the fenced area?

Answer 1

Answer:

length: 601 1/3 area: 361601 7/9

Step-by-step explanation:

the maximum area would be a square, and we only need 3 sides, so we can divide the amount of fencing by 3

1804/3=601 1/3

the length is 601.(3)

square to find the area

(1804/3)^2

361601 7/9

area is 361601 7/9
