a. Write an equation that represents the area of the enclosure. (Use the give area)
b. Solve for y, what would be the new equation?
c. Let L stand for the length of the fence, in yards, write an equation that represents the length of fencing that you need.
d. If you substituted your equation from part b into your equation in part c, then L will result in a rational function. Express L as a rational function.
