Question

I have no clue how to do this: You have 1200 feet of fencing and you want to make two fenced in enclosures by splitting one enclosure in half. What are the largest dimensions of this enclosure that you could build?

Answer 1

so you have 1200 ft of lose fencing material
and you'd like to make 2 enclosures by
making one big one first, then cut it in half to make 2 smaller ones

Answer 2

I'd solve for "x", to see how much each side would give me, if all equal, then you'd know the dimensions of each half

Answer 3

Would I divide the 1200 by 4?

Answer 4

I'm pretty confused

Answer 5

yes, 1200 is a perimeter value

Answer 6

So that would be 300...

Answer 7

so, if each side is 300 ft,
what dimensions would that give you for the smaller enclosures?

Answer 8

150 by 300?

Answer 9
