A farmer has 3000 feet of fencing to use on a new enclosure. The new enclosure will go up against existing fencing so one side does not need additional fencing. If the farmer wants to subdivide the enclosure to have 3 pens, what is the maximum total area the farmer can enclose?

375000 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the statement that we have that it would be 1 time the length and 2 times the width because one side is not necessary and also we must take into account that it would be divided by 3 equal enclosures therefore we will use 1000 feet (3000/3) so Therefore, the perimeter would be equal to:

1000 = l + 2 * w

we solve for w:

l = 1000 - 2 * w

Also the area is equal to:

A = w * l

replacing:

A = w * (1000 - 2 * w)

A = 1000 * w - 2 * w ^ 2

We derive:

A '= 1000 - 4 * w

Let's equal 0:

1000 - 4 * w = 0

w = 1000/4

w = 250

replacing and we calculate l:

l = 1000 - 2 * 250

l = 500

A = 250 * 500

A = 15,000 ft ^ 2

Which means that for each subdivision the maximum area would be 125000 square feet and the total would be:

125000 * 3 = 375000 ft ^ 2

the y will be in still but your answer will be y x 3

a line is an defined derm because it

a)contains an infinite number of points b) can be used to create other geometric shapes c)describes something that does not have width or depth d) is a term that does not have a formal definition. a line is an undefined term because it: contains an infinite number of points.
