Your objective as supervising engineer is to design the enclosure so that it uses the least amount of fencing. Proceed as follows.

        As with most of these  story problems, they don't give you enough information ; and they don't tell you what they're looking for.The don't define their terms. This one is very complicated. It would be better if it were in layman's terms.
