Remarks
Example: You have 100 feet of fencing to make three sides of a rectangular area using an existing straight fence as the fourth side. Construct a formula in a spreadsheet to determine the area you can enclose. Use the spreadsheet to make a conjecture about the maximum area possible. Prove (or disprove) your conjecture by solving an appropriate quadratic equation.
