  • A farmer is given 500 ft. of fencing. He will be constructing a rectangular coral to keep pigs and sheep, however he wants to keep them separate so there will be a wall of fence in the middle of the coral as well (the dividing wall will be parallel to 2 of the sides). What are the dimensions of the coral that will maximize the area, and what is the area?
