Miss Weber has a very energetic puppy. Max, the puppy loves to play
outdoors, so Miss Weber decided to build a pen to allow Max to be outside
while she is at school. She just happens to have 50 feet of fencing in her
storage shed that she can use for the pen.
What are some of the ways she can set up the pen that uses all of the fencing?
What are the dimensions of the rectangular pen with the most space available
for Max to play?
Write a letter to Miss Weber explaining her choices and which pen you would
recommend she build. Be sure to show how you made your decisions and
include a mathematical representation to support your solution.
