So if the perimeter is 250 feet, draw a diagram. of three sides of a rectangle with a little river. Then label the two corresponding sides 'x' and the other side without a partner 250-x because the total P is 250 and you already used 'x' twice on the other sides of the fence. Then, because area is A=LW, substitute in the sides: A=(250-2x)x
