The back of Dante's property is a creek. Dante would like to enclose a rectangular area, using the creek as one side and fencing for the other three sides, to create a pasture. If there is 960 feet of fencing available, what is the maximum possible area of the pasture?

Answer:

Explanation:

960/3. that's 320 a side. They said maximum, I'm guessing they just wanted you to use base times height as if it was a square, since I'm not seeing any other information. the maximum possible area would be, if the sides were 320 each would be 102,400 square feet. Maximum
