A rectangular corral is enclosed using 120 m of fencing. The corral uses the side of a barn as one of its sides, so fencing is required on three sides of the rectangular region. What dimensions would maximize the area enclosed by the fence?

    The dimensions would be 40 m by 40 m.

    To maximize area and minimize perimeter we make the dimensions as close to equal as possible. Since we only need fencing on 3 sides, 120/3 = 40; we can use 40 for each side.
