Let's call the width "W" and the length "L". We are told that L = 2W
Every rectangle has two Ws and two Ls. We are told that W + W + 2W + 2W = 72
That gives us 6W = 72 Dividing each side by 6 gives us
W = 12
and as L = 2W, then
L = 24
625 sq feet.

That would probably be a 25x25 square with an area of 625 square feet.

What do you mean by "largest" ??? Do you want the widest rectangle ? The longest rectangle ? How about the rectangle with the most area ? The length can be anything less than 20 ft, and the width can be anything less than 20 ft. Any of those shapes will have an area greater than zero. The rectangular garden with the greatest possible area is a square, 10 ft x 10 ft. Its area is 100 square feet.

I got no clue.
You can't tell the linear dimensions from the area. There are an infinite number of shapes that all enclose 40 acres but have different linear dimensions. The smallest possible straight dimensions that can enclose 40 acres occur if the field is square. Each side would be 1,320 feet, and you'd need exactly 1 mile of fence to enclose it. But if some developer owned a rectangular piece of land that was 330-ft wide and 1 mile long, his land would also measure 40 acres, but it would take 2-1/4 miles of fence to enclose it.
625 sq feet.

832 yards
That would probably be a 25x25 square with an area of 625 square feet.

A rectangular lot that's 150-ft wide has to be 290.4-ftlongin order to enclose exactly 1 acre.
Assuming there are two additional width-sized fences to make the division, then 2L + 4W = 1200 ie L + 2W = 600. There are many possible dimensions: L 500, W 50; L 400, W 100 etc etc
a veterinarian uses 600 feet of chain-link fence to enclose a rectangular region. It is subdivided evenly into two smaller rectangles by placing fence parallel to one of the sides. what is the width (w) as a function of the length (L)? (w=?) what is the total area as a function of (L)? (A=?) what are the dimensions that produce the greatest enclosed area? EXPLENATION PLEASE
46 feet of fence. Add all the sides together.
