Question

A real estate company wants to build a parking lot along the side of one of its buildings using 800 feet of fence. If the side along the building needs no fence, what are the dimensions of the largest possible parking lot?

Answer 1

Answer:

80,00$ft^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

According to my research, the formula for the Area of a rectangle is the following,

$A = L*W$

Where

1. A is the Area
2. L is the length
3. W is the width

Since the building wall is acting as one side length of the rectangle. We are left with 1 length and 2 width sides. To maximize the Area of the parking lot we will need to equally divide the 800 ft of fencing between the Length and Width.

800 / 2 = 400ft

So We have 400 ft for the length and 400 ft for the width. Since the width has 2 sides we need to divide 60 by 2.

400/2 = 200 ft

Now we can calculate the maximum Area using the values above.

$A = 400ft*200ft$

$A = 80,000ft^{2}$

So the Maximum area we are able to create with 800 ft of fencing is 80,00$ft^{2}$
