Asked by Suresh

The back of Dante's property is a creek. Dante would like to enclose a rectangular area, using the creek as one side and fencing for the other three sides, to create a corral. If there is 200 feet of fencing available, what is the maximum possible area of the corral?
Answered by oobleck
divide the fencing equally between lengths and widths.
Maximum area is this 100x50 = 5000 ft^2

see related problems below for the calculations that show this
