Question 1003469: A rancher wishes to enclose a rectangular partitioned corral with 1,944 feet of fencing. What dimensions of the corral would enclose the largest possible area? Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Well the largest area is enclosed by a square.
Divide 1944 feet by fur to find the side of that square and get
486 feet.
The dimensions are then 486 x 486 feet.
The area is 486 feet ^ 2 or 236,196 square feet.
