Chapter 4.1 Problem 65

Question

A rancher has 10,000 linear feet of fencing and wants to enclose a rectangular field and then divide it into two equal pastures with an internal fence parallel to one of the rectangular sides. What is the maximum area of each pasture? Round to the nearest square foot.

Solution

Step 1 of 5)

The first step in solving 4.1 problem number 65 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A rancher has 10,000 linear feet of fencing and wants to enclose a rectangular field and then divide it into two equal pastures with an internal fence parallel to one of the rectangular sides. What is the maximum area of each pasture? Round to the nearest square foot.
From the textbook chapter Quadratic Functions you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
