14. Ryan has 800 ft of fencing. He wishes to form a rectangular
enclosure and then divide it into three sections by running two
lengths of fence parallel to one side. What should the
dimensions of the enclosure be in order to maximize the
enclosure area?
a. 100 ft, 150 ft b. 50 ft, 100 ft
c. 150ft, 300 ft d. 100 ft, 200 ft
The area of the enclosure is still the product
of its length and width
A=xy
The 800 ft of fencing is to be divided into six pieces,
4 of length x, and 2 of length y.
4x+2y=800
2y=800-4x
y=400-
