A rectangular field is to be enclosed with a fence. One side of the field is against an existing fence, so that no fence is needed on that side. If material for the fence costs P2 per foot for the two ends and P4 per foot for the side parallel to the existing fence, find the dimensions of the field of largest area that can be enclosed for P1000.
