The back of Tom's property is a creek. Tom 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 920 feet of fencing available, what is the maximum possible area of the pasture

Max Area = 105,800 sq.ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A square will always give us the maximum area.

Thus, one side would be;

920/4 = 230 feet

So, we want a square 230 ft by 230 ft

however, from the question, we are to use the creek as one side. So, we'll take the 230 ft that we don't need because of the creek and then add it to the opposite side to get 230 + 230 = 460 ft.

Thus,we now have a rectangle with dimensions: 230 ft by 460 ft

Area is given by;

area = length × width

Maximum Area = 230 × 460

Max Area = 105,800 sq.ft

.there can be infinite values of m and n that can satisfy the above equation. for each value of m of m or n. there maybe infinite sets of solution for the above
