Answer:
[tex]2209 ft^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Justin wants to use 188 ft of fencing to fence off the greatest possible rectangular area for a garden.
So, perimeter = 188 ft
The greatest possible rectangular area is square.
So, Perimeter of square = [tex]4 \times Side[/tex]
So, [tex]188= 4 \times Side[/tex]
[tex]\frac{188}{4}= Side[/tex]
[tex]47= Side[/tex]
Thus the side of the square is 47 m
Thus the dimension of greatest possible rectangular area = [tex]47 ft \times 47 ft[/tex]
Area of garden = [tex]47 \times 47[/tex]
= [tex]2209 ft^2[/tex]
Hence the area of the garden is [tex]2209 ft^2[/tex]
