A rectangular plot of farmland will be bounded on one side by a river and on the other sides by a single-strand electric fence. With 2000 m of wire at your disposal, what is the largest area you can enclose, and what are its dimensions? Knowing that the maximum area of the rectangular plot is 50000 m2, what is the length of the shorter side of the retangular plot, and what is the length of the longer side of the rectangular plot?
Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.
