A gardener is fencing a rectangular garden with 112 feet of fence. find the maximum area of the rectangular garden.

To maximize the amount of fencing to create the biggest area possible, you will want to create a quadrilateral as close to or equal to a square as possible.

In this case, 112 is evenly divisible by 4 to give you sides lengths of 28.

The area would be 28 feet x 28 feet.

28 x 28 = 784 square feet of area.

All Squares are rectangles.
