A farmer needs to enclose three sides of a plot with a fence (the fourth side is a river). The farmer has 35 feet of fence and wants the plot to have an area of 150 sq-feet. What should the dimensions of the plot be? (For the purpose of this problem, the width will be the smaller dimension (needing two sides); the length with be the longer dimension (needing one side). Additionally, the length should be as long as possible.) length= feet width= feet
