The dimensions of each pen will maximize the total enclosed area are:  Length 81 feet; Width 81 feet.

Dimension of each pen

Length = x

Width = y

Area = xy

Perimeter equation is

2(x + y) = 324

  x + y = 162

Substituting the perimeter equation

Area = x(162 - x)

Area = -x2 + 162x

If the zeros of the quadratic are 0 and 162, then the median  will be where the maximum area occurs.

162/ 2

= 81

Hence, the dimensions are

Length = 81 feet

Width = 162 - 81 = 81 feet

Therefore the dimensions of each pen will maximize the total enclosed area are:  Length 81 feet; Width 81 feet.
