Question

they have 25 feet of fencing to build the compost bin what is the area of the largest bin they can build? what are the dimensions of the bin with the largest area
Ms. Sue
A square will provide the largest area.

25/4 = ?



Reiny
The largest bin (largest area) is obtained when you have a square, so each side is 25/4 ft
and the largest area is (25/4) ft^2
= 625/16 ft^2 or 39.0625 ft^2
