Justin wants to use 376 ft of fencing to fence off the greatest possible rectangular area for a garden. what dimensions should he use? what will be the area of the garden?
a. 89 x 99; 8811 ft
b. 92 x 96; 8832 ft
c. 94 x 94; 8836 ft
d. 93 x 95; 8835 ft

D. 93 x 95; 8835 ft

A rectangle has four sides: 376/4 = 94
94 the average measurement. It is not the exact measurement of each side because a polygon with four side with the same measurement is a square not a rectangle.
So the measure of the rectangles length can be more than 94 and the measure of the width is less than 94. The sum of the length and width should be 188.

Based on the choices. C is not an option. Its the area for a square.

A, B, and D are the remaining options but D has the greatest possible rectangular area.

The answer to your question is b’(16,14)
