Answer

$86.7\text{ yards}\times86.6\text{ yards}$

Work Step by Step

From the graph in part c, the peak point is where $x\approx86.7$. Solving for $y$: $$y=\frac{520}{3}-x=\frac{520}{3}-86.7=86.6$$ Thus, the dimensions that yield a maximum area is about: $$86.7\text{ yards}\times86.6\text{ yards}$$
