Answer:
A lot of information is missing, so I looked for similar questions:
- 1,064 yd of fencing is available
since 1,064 is the perimeter and we have a rectangle, we can write the perimeter equation as: 2L + 2W = 1,064
area = L · W
2W = 1,064 - 2L
W = 532 - L
now we replace in the area equation:
area = (532 - L) · L = -W² + 532W (quadratic equation format)
the value of L as our X coordinate:
L = 532 / 2 = 266
W = 532 - 266 = 266
area = -(266)² + (532 x 266) = -70,756 + 141,512 = 70,756 sq yards
or
area = 266 · 266 = 70,756 sq yards
When you have a rectangle, the largest possible area is a square, where both sides have the same length.
