Coursework: Fencing problem Introduction: A farmer has 1000 metres of fencing, and he wants to be able to get the maximum amount of space that he can with the 1000 metres. By using formulae that we already know, we can find out what shape can give the most area. I will test each shape to find the maximum area I can, then I can eventually use the shape that can create the largest area with 1000 metres of fencing. First I will look at Rectangles, then all 3 types of triangles, Pentagons, hexagons and finally circles, and by the end I will have found out which is the suitable shape to have the fence in. Rectangle Width Length Area 50 450 22500 100 400 40000 150 350 52500 200 300 60000 250 250 62500 <<
