a farmer has 680 feet of fencing to enclose the pasture. because a river runs along on side, fencing will be needed on only three sides. find the dimensions of the pasture if its length is double its width.|||If the river runs on the length side, then the dimensions would be 170 x 340.





If, however, the river runs along the width side, the dimensions would be 136 x 272.|||Depending if the steam is on the short or long direction it could be 340 X 170 or 136 X 272


However if this a pasture where animals will be grazing it should be fenced o the side with the stream for the purposes of maintaining water quality.|||170' X 340'
