Question 1013604: Lori is putting up a fence for a rectangular corral on her farm. She would like to make the area of the corral as big as possible but she only has materials to make the perimeter of the corral 88ft. She has drawn the graph of the quadratic function that relates the width to the area. Look at the graph to find the maximum area possible for the corral. Your answer should be a whole number
