Question

The owner of the Rancho Grande has 3,028 yd of fencing with which to enclose a rectangular piece of grazing land situated along the straight portion of a river. If fencing is not required along the river, what are the dimensions (in yd) of the largest area he can enclose

Answer 1

the answer would be 573,048.

3028 divided by 4 is 757. 757 could not be a side length because then the shape would be a square and not a rectangle. 756 and 758 would be a rectangle and the closest to 757.

756 * 758 = 573,048
