A farmer is building a fence to enclose a rectangular area consisting of two separate regions. The four walls and one additional vertical segment (to separate the regions) are made up of fencing, as shown below. If the farmer has 648 feet of fencing, what are the dimensions of the region which enclose the maximal area? Provide your answer below: feet by 1 I feet
