Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length be x and breadth be y .

Along the river no fencing is required so total boundary line of the rectangular land = x + y + y = x + 2y

add divider to it so total length

= x + 2y + y = x + 3y

x + 3y = 2400

area A = xy

y ( 2400 - 3y ) = A

2400y - 3y² = A

For maximum area dA / dy = 0

2400 - 6y = 0

y = 400 yards.

x = 1200 yards

largest area = xy

= 48000 sq yards.
