Find the dimensions of the rectangular corral producing the greatest enclosed area given 648 feet of fencing.

Question

Then determine the maximum area enclosed. Enter the measure for the maximum area rounding to the nearest square foot. The maximum area is ______ft².

Answer 1

2*(L+w) = 648

L+w = 324

Area = L*w = L * (324- L) = 324L - L^2

-b/(2a) = -324/(-2) = 162

IT will be the square with side measure 162.

THe max area is 162^2 = 26244
