13. Open-Ended Linda wants to fence in a rectangular yard for her dogs to run around and get exercise. She only has 72 feet of fencing, so she decides to use the side of her barn as one side of the fenced-in yard. Make a table showing the relationship between the width and length of the yard and the area. Remember that the three sides of the yard have to add up to 72 feet. The fourth side of the yard is formed by the side of the barn. Use the table to determine which width would result in the greatest area for the dogs to run. Explain your reasoning. barn ? ? ?
