TO SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS JUST DIVIDE THE TOTAL LENGTH BY 3.
248/3=62 THIS IS THE SHORT SIDES OF THE FENCE.
THE REMAINING FENCE (248-2*62)=248-124=124 IS THE LONG SINGLE SIDE.
PROOF;
62*124=7,688 SQUARE FT. IS THE LARGEST AREA.
TRY A SQUARE BY DIVIDING THE FENCE LENGTH BY 3.
248/3=82.67
NOW SQUARE 62.67^2=6,834 SQUARE FT.
