A farmer has a total of 350 yards of fencing. He wants to enclose a rectangular field and then divide it into four plots with three pieces of fencing inside the field and parallel to one of the sides. Let x represent the length of one of the pieces of fencing located inside the field (see the figure below). Express the area (A) of the field as a function of x. A=(350−25x)xA=(350−x)xA=(350−5x)xA=(175−5x)xA=(175−25x)x
