A gardener has 60 feet of fencing to keep animals out of the garden. Find the LARGEST AREA of garden that this fence will enclose.

Answer 1

225

Explanation:

A rectangle will have the maximum possible area for a given perimeter when all the sides are the same length. Since every rectangle has four sides, if you know the perimeter, divide it by four to find the length of each side. Then find the area by multiplying the length times the width.

Perimeter-(p) Side Length-(s) Width-(w) Length (l)

(p)60 ÷ 4 = (s)15

(l)15 × (w)15 = 225

Area = 225
