    A square has all 4 sides equal, so divide the amount of fence available by 4 to get the length of one side of the square

    600/4 = 150

    Now since the creek is being used for one side, add one side of the square to the other side to get a rectagle 150 by 300 feet.

    Area = 150 x 300 = 45,000 square feet.
