    Set up an equation.

    width = x

    length = 56 - 2x

    Multiplying length * width makes area. 56x - 2x^2 = Area.

    y = - 2x^2 + 56x

    Ax^2 + Bx = C

    Solve for the vertex: x = - (b/2a)

    - (56/-4) = 14

    width = 14 ft.

    length = 56 - 2 (14) = 28ft.

    14*28 = 392 sq. ft.
