Clair has 60 yd of fence with which to build a rectangular pig sty. what is the maximum area she can enclose? enter your answer in the box.

Maximum area would be 225 sq. yard.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Perimeter of rectangular pig sty = 60 yd

As we know the formula for "Perimeter ":

Since we need the maximum area she can enclose:

Square with same perimeter would enclose maximum area than the rectangle.

For this we assume l=b.

So, it becomes,

So, Maximum area would be

Hence, the maximum area would be 225 sq. yard.

δabc ≅ δdcb by sas because

db ≅ ac . . given (side)

bc ≅ bc . . reflexive property (side)

∠dbc ≅ ∠ acb . . alternate interior angles where transversal bc crosses parallel lines bd and ac (included angle)
