Fencing. A fence is to be built around a rectangular area of 26 square metres. The dimensions are x and y. On one of the sides with length x, there is a gap of 0.5x that has no fence. The goal is to find the dimensions for the minimum fence length. (a) The length equation can be expressed as O L(x)=1.5x+52 O L ( x ) = 2x +52 x O L(x)= 1.5x+52 * 2 O L(x)=1.5x+26 x O L ( x ) = 26+2x (b) The length x for the minimum fence length is O 3.4316 m O 4.853 m O 2.1014 m 5.8878 m O None of the other answers
