See the lesson
- A farmer planning to fence a rectangular area along the river to enclose the maximal area
in this site.
A TWIN problem was solved there - it is your TEMPLATE.
Read this lesson attentively, and then solve your problem in the same way.
The answer is 500 ft along the river and 250 ft perpendicularly to it.
At the end of this lesson, you will find the links to many other associated lessons on finding minimum/maximum.
Do not miss them.
