Rancher juan wants to enclose a rectangular area beside a river. there are 240 yards of fencing available. what is the largest total area that can be enclosed?

The largest total area that can be enclosed is 3600 yards².

A rectangle is a 4-sided shape that is made up of a length and width.

Area of a rectangle = length x width

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)

240 = 2(l + b)

120 = l + b

The second step is to determine the dimensions of a rectangle that would be equal to 120

pairs of dimensions:

60cm  x 60 = 3600

50 x 70 = 3500

40 x 80 = 3200

30 x 90 = 2700

20 x 100 = 1200

1 x 119 = 119
