A farmer has 24 ft of fencing and wants to fence o ff a rectangular field that borders a river. What are the dimensions of the field that has largest area?





Just trying to verify my answer. Thank you.|||x+2y = 24 so x = 24-2y


area A = x * y = 24y - 2y^2


when y = 6, and x = 12, the area is 72|||What answer did you get?
