A box stall is a square or rectangular enclosure that can house one or more animals. Derek wants to construct a square box stall for each horse that is to be housed in a stable. He wants all of the box stalls to have the same length on a side. Derek has a total area of 20,250 square feet in which to construct the box stalls. The equation for the side length, x, of a box stall in terms of the number of horses, n, the stable wants to house is x = √ A. 1/20,250n B. n/20,250 C. 20,250n D. 20,250/n. If each box stall is 9 feet long on a side, the stable can house A. 205 B. 225 C. 250 D. 265 horses.
