A farmer with 1850 meters of fencing wants to enclose a rectangular plot that borders on a straight highway. I?

The answer gonna be in square meters.|||The greatest area you can get is a square shape - that being all four sides are equal. Since 1850 meters is the total length of fence, divide that by 4 sides of the fence.





1850 meters/4 sides = 462.5 meters/side





For the total area of the fence enclosure multiply 462.5 meters times 462.5 meters.





462.5 meters x 462.5 meters = 213,906.25 square meters
