Area=(x*(350-x))/2Area=x⋅(350−x)2

Explanation:

The area formula for rectangles is Area=w*hArea=w⋅h
where w = widthw=width and h = heighth=height.

For this problem:

  1. Express yy in terms of xx:
    Since 2*y+x=3502⋅y+x=350 yards,
    y=(350-x)/2y=350−x2
  2. Use the area formula to solve for the area:
    Area=w*hArea=w⋅h
    =y*x=y⋅x
    =(x*(350-x))/2=x⋅(350−x)2
