Answer 4

well the problem is laid out like a mall wants to create a restaurant on the outside in a rectangular shape, so you have 3 sides (one long side is against the building). They want to put fence around the 3 sides which requires 120 feet of fencing.
What is the length of all 3 sides and what is the maximum area?
