farmer Pete has enough seed plant a rectangular garden that is 48 square feet how should he arrange his garden in order to use the least amount of fencing with whole length dimensions

Answer 1

The largest area of a rectangle is obtained when the rectangle is a square, so
s^2 = 48
s = √48 = 6.928
which to the nearest whole length is 7 ft

his garden should be 7 ft by 7 ft
