The maximum possible area would have a length of 24 feet and width of 12 feet.

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

An independent variable is a variable that does not depend on other variables while a dependent variable is a variable that depends on other variables.

Let x represent the length and y represent the width, hence:

Since beth has 48 ft fencing and cover 3 sides, hence:

x + 2y = 48  

x = 48 - 2y     (1)

Also:

Area (A) = xy

A = (48 - 2y)y

A = 48y - 2y²

The maximum area is at A' = 0, hence:

A' = 48 - 4y

48 - 4y = 0

y = 12 feet

x = 48 - 2(12) = 24

The maximum possible area would have a length of 24 feet and width of 12 feet.
