A geometry puzzle?

-
--------- #1454 - There was this old stone wall separating two farms. Each farmer had 600 feet of fence. One farmer wanted to have maximum rectangular area using his fence and the wall for one side. What was the length of each side of the fence he designed? The other farmer wanted to have only two sides of the fence and for them to be the same length and still have the maximum area in the triangle. What was the length of each side of his fence and what angle did the fence meet the wall?.
