A farmer has a large field that is x feet in length. He wants to fence in a rectangular section in the middle of the field, leaving
a length of 100 feet of open field beyond each end of the fenced rectangle. He also wants the width of the fenced-in space to
be 100 feet less than its length, as shown in the diagram.
Find the equation in standard form for the area of the fenced-in section in terms of the length of the field.
(area = length. width)
(x - 300) ft
100 ft
100 ft
(x - 200) ft
x feet
Type the correct answer in the box.
