Is it possible for a perimeter of 231 miles to have an area of 3000

Question

Question about a Forest and shapes and layouts.

Answer 1

Assuming a rectangular area, let x = one side and y = the other.

Perimeter = 2(x+y) = 231

x + y = 115.5

y = 115.5 - x

Area = xy = 3000

x(115.5-x) = 3000

-x² + 115.5x - 3000 = 0

Use the quadratic formula to get the values of x. The corresponding values of y are 115.5 - x.
