Answer 1

Hey there,

Your question states: You have a 332 feet fencing to enclose a rectangular region. What is the maximum area.

Your correct answer would be 6,889.

Reason/explanation: 

The formula that we would use is $P = 2l+2w$

$f(x)=ax^{2} +b*x+c$

$L=166=-W\\ L=83$
_____________________________________________________________

So by this, now that we know that $L=83$

We do . . . 83 × 83. . . 

And you final answer would be Option A.) 6,889

Hope this helps you!

Answer 2

Take 332 feet/4, as if it was a square, to find the measure of each side. You'll get 83 feet. Since it's a rectangle, sides are not the same. Keeping as close to square-like as possible (for solving purposes), two sides are 84 feet and two are 82 feet. Take 84 X 82 to find area = 6,888 feet squared.
