2. Marissa is raising chickens and wants to build a fenced-in enclosure next to her chicken coop. She has 100 feet of chicken wire fencing and the fence is going to be built so that the chicken coop wall forms one side of the enclosure, with the wire fencing along the other three sides. Marissa wants to build a rectangular space so that the chickens have as much area as possible to roam. a. Draw a diagram showing the wall of the chicken coop and the three sides of wire fencing forming a rectangle, and label one of the sides of the wire fencing as x. b. Write an equation for the area of the chicken enclosure in terms of x.
