A farmer decides to enclose a rectangular​ garden, using the side of a barn as one side of the rectangle. What is the maximum area that the farmer can enclose with 48 ft of​ fence? What should the dimensions of the garden be to give this​ area?

Respuesta :

Answer:

256 square feet    16+16+16+16

Step-by-step explanation:

You only need to divide the fence into 3 not into 4   since one side is already there ( the side of a barn)

48/3 = 16 (side)

Area:16*16 = 256
