Fencing Ferdinand wants to fence three rectangular areas. there are fences in three types, with
amount of fences of each type. You will notice that there is always at least as much area it manages to enclose a total of three by enclosing three square areas (i.e., each area fencing elements of the same size to enclose it) as if it were three different, rectangular would encircle an area (i.e., use two different elements for each of the three areas). Why is this is so? When does it not matter how he fences the rectangles, in terms of the sum of the areas?
