If you have 40 feet of fencing to put around a garden what are the dimensions of the largest rectangular garden you can enclose?

10' X 10' = 100 sqft. The more you deviate from a square, the smaller the area will be. If you change the sides by 1 foot, you are left with 9 X 11 which is only 99 sqft. If you make the rectangle long and narrow, 19 X 1 is only 19 sqft.

$90If the area of the garden is 50 ft2, then the area is represented by the formula50 = l * wIf the length is twice the width, then l = 2w, and50 = 2w * w ===> 50 = 2w2Solving for w, we getw = 5Now the perimeter of the fencing is 2w + 2(2w) = 6w, and with w = 5P = 6(5) = 30.If the fencing costs $3/ft, then we have$3/ft * 30 ft = $90

If you have 40 feet of fencing to put around a garden what are the dimensions of the largest rectangular garden he can enclose?

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.
