A rancher has 400 ft of fence for constructing a rectangular corral. One side of the corral will be formed by the wall of the barn thus requires no fencing. Three exterior fences and two interior fences partition the corral into three rectangular regions. What are the dimensions of the corral that maximize the enclosed area? What is the area of the corral? barn
