A rancher has 100 meters of fencing to enclose two adjacent rectangular corrals. The rancher wants the enclosed area to be 350 square meters. What dimensions should the rancher use to obtain this area?

Substitute 350 for

A (200x - 8x^2) / 3 = 350

Multiply by 3 on both sides

200x - 8x^2 = 1050

set equal to 0-8x^2 + 200x - 1050 = 0

Divide equation by

2-4x^2 + 100x - 525 = 0

solve using quadratic formula and you will get the values
