Answer:

farmer has a rectangular garden plot surrounded by 200 ft of fence. Find the length and width of the garden if its area is 2400 square feet.

.

Let x = width

and y = length

.

The because he has 200 ft of fencing, this must lest than or equal to the perimeter:

2(x+y) = 200

x+y = 100

Solving for x:

x+y = 100

x = 100-y

.

Area:

xy = 2400

.

substitute x=100-y:

xy = 2400

(100-y)y = 2400

100y-y^2 = 2400

0 = y^2-100+2400

factoring:

0 = (y-40)(y-60)

y={60,40}

.

length 60 feet

width 40 feet
