The length and width that will maximize the area are 175 ft and 87.5 ft respectively

The largest area that can be enclosed is 15312.5 ft²

<h3>Area of a rectangle</h3>
  • area = lw

where

l = length

w = width

The fencing is 350 ft it is use to enclose a rectangular plot with a river occupying one part.

Therefore,

perimeter = l + 2w

350 = l + 2w

l = 350 - 2w

area = (350 - 2w)w

(350 - 2w)w = 0

where

w = 0 or 175

average = 175/2 = 87.5

Hence, the max area is at w = 87.5 ft

Therefore,

l = 350 - 2(87.5) = 175 ft

length = 175 ft

width =  87.5 ft

Therefore,

area = 175 × 87.5 = 15312.5 ft²

Therefore, the largest area that can be enclosed is 15312.5 ft²
