Problem
A rectangular athletic field is to be partitioned into three congruent rectangular sections by placing two fences parallel to one of the shorter sides. If 260 meters of fencing are available (including the outer perimeter and the two interior partitions), determine the length of the shorter side that maximizes the total area of the field. Express your answer in meters.
