Mendel is planting peas for a genetics experiment. He has 225 feet of fencing to fence a
rectangular garden and divide it into two equal parts by placing another fence parallel to one
of the sides. What is the maximum total area (in square feet) he can enclose?

To know the area that Mendel can enclose with 225ft of the fence, you must know the distance from the side and the base of the rectangle. To do this, we divide the fence into 3 equal parts for the sides and 2 equal longer parts for the base and the top.

In this case, we divide the fence into 3 pieces of 25ft and 2 pieces of 75ft.

After this, we can calculate the area of the rectangle by multiplying the value of the side by the value of the base.

25ft × 75ft = 1875ft²

According to the above, the maximum area that can be enclosed with a 225ft fence is 1875ft²
