A farmer has 3600m of fencing with which to enclose and subdivide a rectangular field into 4 equal plots of land
a) what is the largest area that can be enclosed?
b)what are the dimensions of the largest area?

Comments
The largest rectangle area is a square. You want 4 squares, so you have 6 equal lengths of fencing. {4 sides of perimeter and one H and one V internal fence.} 3600/6 = 600
600 x 600 = 360000 sq meters.
bisecting each side you get 4 squares of 300 x 300 each
You can try other configurations.
[like Horizontal domino, with 2 upright dominoes capped by a H domino for
400m wide + 800 deep (200+400+200 - - at intersections) = 320000 sq meters
