I want to fence in a rectangular garden next to a wall of my house. I have a total of 20 yards of chicken wire to use to construct the fence. I only need to construct three sides of the rectangle, since the wall of my house will serve as the fourth side. Is there a formula (function) for area of the garden in terms of the width of the garden?

x y Area (in square yards) Width (in yards) The function that represents area as a function of width is A(W) = where A = area (in square yds) and W = width of the rectangle (in yds) WA(W) ● ● ● ●● ● ● ● Can you guess at the maximum possible area that the garden can have? 50 
