the answer is wrong...the wording of the question does not give you all of the information that you need. "the side of the fence parallel to the fence" and the" sides of the fence perpendicular to the river" describe the same thing thus one side of the fence is missing from the equation.......

Expertise

I can answer most questions in Calc I, Calc II, Calc III, Algebra, and Trigonometry. Also, don't hesitate to send me a Probability/Stats problem. I have knowledge in Diff. Eq. problems(separation of variables, Newton's cooling law, emptying a tank, etc), but can't make a guarantee. My math knowledge is 'jack of all trades, master of none' type deal. I know a little number theory, linear algebra also, but as before, you can ask but I can't make any promises.

Experience

I currently teach Intermediate Algebra and Statistics at a community college in Western Md. I was a field engineer/surveyor for years, therefore, I have used mathematics in 'real-world' situations.
