So, first, what are the two sides?
let's call then x and y
we know that 2(x+y)=12.5 (that's the distance around)
so that means that x+y=6.25 (I just divided both by 2)
now, x=4y (from "4 times as long as it is wide")
so we can substitute:
x+4x=6.25
5x=6.25
x=1.25
so one side, is 1.25 and the other will be 1.25*4=5
and for the area we multiply the two:
1.25*5=6.25 square kilometers, and this is the answer!
Here it is given that the width is x ft and total length of the fence is 2400 ft .
Let the length be y ft
So we have

Let A represents area, and area is the product of length and width .
So we get

Substituting the value of y, we will get

Second part
The area is maximum at the vertex, and vertex is

And

And that's the required dimensions .
Answer:
Denote the amount of miles she will run in 24 minutes: x
=> x/24 = 7/60 (same rate)
=> x = 7x24/60 = 2.8 (miles)
