A farmer wants to make a rectangular field with a total area of 3200^2. It is surrounded by a fence. It is divided into 3 equal areas by fences. What is the shortest total length of fence with which this can be done?

18133.333... units

Step-by-step explanation:

the shortest circumference for a given area based on rectangles is a square (all sides of equal length).

we cannot split a square completely into 3 equal area squares (only 4).

the best approach is then to split this main square into 3 equal area rectangles (not equal rectangles).

area of square 3200² = 10240000

a third of that area is 3413333.333...

now, splitting the main square into 3 equal "strips" of land creates 3 narrow and long rectangles, which is bad for minimizing the circumference. the best solution is to get as closely as possible to a square shape.

that we get by splitting one side in half and go in as far as the land area allows, which would be

half a side = 1600

3413333.33.../1600 = 2133.33...

so, we get 2 areas of 1600 × 2133.33...

and one area of (3200-2133.33...)×3200 = 1066.66...×3200

the length of fence needed is then

around the main square = 4×3200 = 12800

plus one length of fence between the first 2 parts : 2133.33...

plus one intensive long side between the first 2 parts and the remaining third part : 3200

in total : 18133.33...

to check : the three slices would require the 12800 plus 2 long lines inside between the 3 slices : 2×3200

in total : 19200

and an attempt to simply build one long strip of 3 equal area squares next to each other :

the side length of one such square is

sqrt(341333.33...) = 1847.520861...

as fence we would need 6 times that side length for the top and the bottom of the long strip, 2 times that side length for the sides left and right if the strip, and 2 times inside as additional delimiters between the 3 squares.

in total : (6+2+2) × 1847.520861... = 10×1847.520861...

= 18475.20861...

this is all larger than the original solution.

this is a very good question

step-by-step explanation:

i got a hair cut today from my mom not to flex just to flex kim jon un is one rad fellow i'd say you'd need to take the hairline in kinda like a box shape like someone rammed a lego brick into your head. from there you really need to take the top up keeping with that boxy aesthetic, finally coat the whole thing with gel if your country economics are failing or whatever you can just coat it with the starving children's food rations. about 5 orphans per strand is a good ratio. good luck with the fresh cut my dude

17   x 256=4352

sorry if this is wrong, i'm new.
