A company plans to enclose three parallel rectangular areas for sorting returned goods. The three areas are within one large rectangular area and 992 yd of fencing is available. What is the largest total area that can be enclosed? A rectangle has 2 horizontal sides and 2 vertical sides. Two vertical line segments divide the rectangle into 3 smaller rectangles. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box(es) to complete your choice. A. The length of each side of the larger rectangular area is the same and measures 248 yd. B. The length of the shorter side of the larger rectangular area is 124 yd and the length of the longer side of the larger rectangular area is 248 yd. The largest total area that can be enclosed is 30752 yd².

Solve each problem. A farmer wishes to enclose a rectangular region bordering a barn with fencing, as shown in the diagram. Suppose that $x$ represents the length of each of the three parallel pieces of fencing. She has 600 feet of fencing available. (a) What is the length of the remaining piece of fencing in terms of $x ?$ (b) Determine a function $s t$ that represents the total area of the enclosed region. Give any restrictions on $x .$ (c) What dimensions for the total enclosed region would give an area of $22,500$ square feet? Determine the answer analytically. (d) Use a graph to find the maximum area that can be enclosed.
