Question 1130614: A rectangular enclosure for animals is fenced to produce three separate feeding areas.

If 800 ft of fencing is available, find the dimensions of the enclosure that will maximize the feeding area.

Are the 800 feet of fencing for the 3 areas? Are the areas going to be of the same size? If so, there are 266.67 feet of fencing for each area. Or is it 800 feet for each area, for a total of 2400 feet of fencing?
You say:
"If 800 ft of fencing is available, find the dimensions of the enclosure that will maximize the feeding area"
This talks about "the" feeding area (singular, as 1, not areaS)
