A rancher has 220 meters of fence with which to enclose three sides of a rectangular meadow (the fourth side is a cliff wall and will not require fencing). Find the dimensions of the meadow with the largest possible area. (For the purpose of this problem, the width will be the smaller dimension (needing two sides); the length with be the longer dimension (needing one side).) length meters %3D width = meters What is the largest area possible for this meadow? area = meters-squared Enter your answers as numbers. If necessary, round to the nearest hundredths.
