A rectangular field is to be fenced on three sides (the fourth side borders a straight river and requires no fence) using exactly 100 meters of fencing material. If the side parallel to the river has length x meters and 0≤x≤100, determine the value of x that maximizes the area of the field. State your answer in meters.
