Question 1134634: a farmer has 450 feet of fencing and wants to enclose a rectangular area of 8750 ft^2. What dimensions should she use?

450 feet of fencing indicates that the perimeter = 450ft
l = length
w = width
Perimeter = (l+w)*2 = 450
Area = lw = 8750
l = 8750/w
In other words,
The dimensions that she should use = 50ft by 175ft.
