To maximize the area of the rectangular field with the constraint of 200 meters of fencing and one side already being enclosed by an existing fence, we can approach the problem as follows: Let: - \( L \) be the length of the rectangular field (parallel to the existing fence). - \( W \) be the width of the rectangular field (perpendicular to the existing fence). The total length of fencing available is 200 meters.
