Question

A rancher has 400 feet of fencing to put around a rectangular field and then subdivide the field into 3 identical smaller rectangular plots by placing two fences parallel to one of the field's shorter sides. Find the dimensions that maximize the enclosed area.

Answer 1

Answer:

longer parallel sides are 150ft each with 4 shorter sides at 25ft each making a rectangle and 3 identical sections.

Step-by-step explanation:

150 + 150 = 300

4 ×25 = 100

300+100=400
