Question

You have 200 feet of fencing to build a rectangular dog pen. If you want the pen to have the maximum possible area. What should the dimensions of the pen be? Show your work.

Answer 1

Each side would be 50 ft

Explanation:

200/4=50

50*50=2,500

Techinally this is a square so if they really want it to be a "rectangle" it would be 51 and 49 and the areas would be 2,499...but the answer should be 50
