Afarmer wants to construct a rectangular shaped fenced-in area on his property. to do so, he plans on using a river that runs in a straight line along the back of his property as one of the side of his rectangle. he will use the 300 feet of fence he has to build two sides perpendicular to the river and one side parallel to the river what is the largest area of his yard he convention? write your equation and answer the question that is asked

maximum area = xy = (16)(32) = 512 ft2

to maximize the area of the garden, the side of the fence parallel to the side of the house should be 32 ft long, and the other two sides should both have length 16 ft.'

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
