Question 1160168: A pen is to be formed by enclosing a rectangular fenced area in an open field. The pen must also be split in half by fence. This will separate the cows and horses from each other. Given that you only have 600m of fence to close the pen, what are the dimension of the pen that will give the animals the maximum area?
Thank you
