Question

A rectangular corral is to be built using 70m of fencing. If the fencing has to enclose

all four sides of the corral, what would be the dimensions to produce the maximum
possible area and what would the area of the corral be? Include a complete solution

Answer 1

306 square meters

Explanation:

The maximum area is when the length and width are the closest together.

70/2=35 we divide because there are 2 lengths and 2 widths in a rectangle

35/2=17.5, find the 2 closest integers, they are 17 and 18

17*18=306
