The correct value is 720 ft of fencing.
Answer:
Max Area = 64800 sq.ft
Step-by-step explanation:
A square will always give us the maximum area.
Thus, one side would be;
720/4 = 180 feet
So, we want a square 180 ft by 180 ft
however, from the question, we are to use the creek as one side. So, we'll take the 180 ft that we don't need because of the creek and then add it to the opposite side to get 180 + 180 = 360 ft.
Thus,we now have a rectangle with dimensions: 180 ft by 360 ft
Area is given by;
area = length × width
Maximum Area = 180 × 360
Max Area = 64800 sq.ft
